Washing Instructions:

Health & Safety:

Difficult to remove when dry. Clean up brushes, hands and palette with soap and water.
Protective clothing and a work area cover sheet is recommended.

Finding a balance between a fine art paint consistency and super rich colour can be difficult when there is a need for washability from clothing. There may still be a possibility that staining may occur. This depends on the type of paint, the colour and the fabric. Some pigments are more inclined to stain cotton fibres while others will stain synthetic fibres.
