Setup

The Generico Kids Watercolor Painting Book Set is designed for immediate use with minimal setup.

1. Unpack the Set: Carefully remove the watercolor painting book and the brush from their packaging.
2. Prepare Water: You will need a small cup or container of clean water to activate the watercolors and clean the brush.
3. Find a Workspace: Choose a flat, stable surface for painting. It is recommended to cover the surface to protect it from water or paint spills.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to begin painting with your Generico Kids Watercolor Painting Book Set:

1. Wet the Brush: Dip the brush into the clean water. Ensure the bristles are adequately wet but not dripping excessively.
2. Activate Colors: Gently touch the wet brush to the desired color strip within the painting book. The water will activate the pigment, allowing you to pick up color.
3. Apply Color: Apply the color to the designated areas on the coloring page. Use light strokes for a translucent effect or more paint for a bolder color.
4. Change Colors: Before switching to a new color, rinse the brush thoroughly in the water and gently blot it on a paper towel or cloth to remove excess water and previous color. This prevents colors from mixing unintentionally on the palette.
5. Experiment: Encourage experimentation with different amounts of water to achieve various shades and effects.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your painting set:

• Brush Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the brush with clean water until all paint residue is removed. Reshape the bristles and allow the brush to air dry completely before storing.
• Book Storage: Store the watercolor painting book in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Ensure pages are dry before closing the book to prevent sticking or mold.
• Water Container: Always use fresh, clean water for painting. Dispose of used water responsibly.

Troubleshooting

• Colors Not Appearing Vibrant: Ensure the brush is sufficiently wet to activate the watercolor pigments. If the brush is too dry, it will pick up less color.
• Paper Getting Too Wet/Warping: Use a moderate amount of water. Excessive water can saturate the paper, causing it to warp or tear. Blot excess water from the brush before applying to the page.
• Colors Mixing on the Page: Clean the brush thoroughly between color changes. If colors are mixing unintentionally, it indicates residual paint on the brush.
• Brush Bristles Losing Shape: After cleaning, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers while they are still wet. Allow to dry flat or hanging downwards to maintain shape.
