How do you care for your handmade watercolors?

Caring for your cherished handmade watercolors is essential to ensure their longevity and vibrancy. Here are some sweet and simple tips to keep your colors shining:

  1. Store your watercolors in a cool, dry place: To preserve the freshness and integrity of your paints, store them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Find a cozy spot where they can rest undisturbed, allowing you to unlock their true potential whenever inspiration strikes.

  2. Keep the tin and glass jar lids tightly closed: To prevent evaporation and maintain the ideal consistency of your watercolors and gum arabic mixture, ensure that the lids are securely fastened. This will help retain their silky smoothness, ready to adorn your artistic creations.

  3. Avoid unnecessary exposure to water: While water is the lifeblood of watercolor painting, it's essential to minimize unnecessary exposure to water. Handmade watercolors are water-soluble, and excessive moisture can alter their texture and vibrancy. Handle your paints with care, avoiding prolonged contact with water and gently blotting them with a dry cloth if they accidentally come into contact with water.

  4. Embrace the palette: A palette is not only a mixing tool but also a protector of your paints. Using a palette allows you to control the amount of water and color you incorporate, reducing waste and ensuring the longevity of your handmade watercolors. Explore the joy of mixing and blending on your palette, creating endless possibilities.

  5. Clean your brushes with love: Your brushes are your trusted companions on your artistic journey. Treat them with care and clean them regularly after each painting session. Rinse them gently with water, removing any excess paint, and let them air dry. This will keep your brushes in pristine condition, ready to help you bring your creative visions to life.

By following these simple care tips, you can extend the lifespan of your handmade watercolors and enjoy their vibrant hues for countless artistic adventures to come.
