How to use

Place the pre-printed panel on a flat, protected surface and arrange the paints and brushes within easy reach. Begin by selecting base colors and apply thin, even layers to larger areas, allowing each layer to dry before applying additional coats for stronger color. Use smaller brushes or trimming strokes for details around outlines. Rinse brushes between color changes to prevent unwanted mixing. After painting, allow the panel to dry fully in a dust-free area before handling or framing.

Recommendations

For best results, work in a well-lit, ventilated area and protect the work surface with newspaper or a drop cloth. Supervise children during use, encourage experimentation with blending and layering, and clean brushes promptly with water to extend their lifespan.
