Paint Care

Paint Care

Of all the art mediums that people (especially children) enjoy using, watercolor paints seem to be a favorite. Teach your child to keep the crispness in paint colors by treating the set properly. Have your child always use the brushes and paints correctly and always go thorough a standard clean-up routine at the end of each project.

If your set of paints is already muddied, have your child clean then in the following step:

1. Beginning with the lightest colors, place a few drops of water in each tray to soften the paint.
2. Rinse the brush.
3. Gently blot the brush dry on a paper towel.
4. Use the dry brush as a “mop.” Soak up the dirty water, and with it will come the dirty paint.
