Before you buy

• The listing does not name a paper. For wet washes, watercolor or mixed media paper holds up better than thin paper, which buckles.
• To blend, lay down color and pull it out with the water brush, or scribble on a palette and pick it up with the water brush.
• Fill the water brushes with clean water and wipe the tip on a paper towel between colors.
• Replace caps tightly after use so the brush tips do not dry out.
