To get the best results, add a few drops of water and let the paint activate for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then swirl your brush around the activated paint for the best consistency. Some paints require more activation time than others. Tip: The amount of water you use can change the opacity of the paint.

My watercolor paints consist of pigment and watercolor binder which contains the following ingredients: gum arabic, distilled water, honey, glycerin, and clove oil.

The two most common sizes I offer are quarter and half pans, but you may see an occasional full pan. Quarter pan: ~1mL Half pan:~2mL Full pan: ~4mL

I recommend storing them in a tin or similar container once they are completely dried after use. Leaving handmade paints in a dark environment while wet can result in molding, the best way to avoid that is to wait until they are completely dry before storing them.

Since I make watercolor paint, they can be used as such and for whatever you would normally use watercolor paint for! Common use is on watercolor paper with brushes, brush pens, or fluid writers, but you can get creative!

Makeup: While most of the pigments I use are cosmetic grade, I do not advise using the paint form for any other use than for watercolor paint. Wall paint: Since watercolor adheres to porous surfaces, it would not stick to walls. Other: Due to the water-based nature of watercolor paint, it performs best on porous surfaces like paper. If you are curious about a specific surface but are hesitant to make a purchase, I suggest experiment using any artist-grade watercolor paint brand as mine perform similar.

To use these paints in nibs or fluid writers, I typically add more water and let the paints activate for a few extra minutes so the paints are both saturated and have a thinner consistency for improved flow. Once the paints reach this consistency, I use a paint brush to transfer the paint from the pan to the nib. It may take extra water and some trial and error to find the right flow for your pens.

I plan to branch out into other mediums, like acrylic paint, in the near future!

Lighting is key! I know the struggle of not being able to capture what my eyes see through a camera lens, trust me. When I take photos and videos, I am in front of a window taking advantage of natural light and have back-up lighting sources to help. Going outside with your art (if possible) will almost guarantee a beautiful shot, especially if it's sunny!

If your order contains pre-ordered paints in addition to in stock, ready to ship paints, everything will ship together when the pre-orders are complete. If you'd like them to ship separately, please place the orders separately. I do not ship items in the same order separately because it is difficult to keep track of and the chances of mistakes are high. Thank you for your understanding!

Anything below that is not considered a bulk order and we will have to deny that request. Also understand that not all colors are in current production. That means that colors Emma may have released a few months ago are not necessarily colors she is readily able to make. When submitting a bulk order request, please use BULK ORDER REQUEST in the subject line with the names and quantities of the colors you are requesting. Please be advised that depending on order volume and pigment availability, that Emma may not be able to fulfill your request.

As long as the paints are in their original packaging, paints may be exchanged. However, the buyer is responsible for return postage back to me.

I understand that life happens and there may be an instance where an order needs to be cancelled. As long as the order hasn't already shipped, orders may be cancelled. Please contact us to arrange a cancellation. (roughly 3 days after preorders close)

Each paint can vary based on how much water used to activate, as well as how long it sits on top of your paint. If you are having difficulties getting the desired effect: - Letting them sit with a few drops of water for around 1 to 2 full minutes is very important. - Try using a different brush to mix. The water and paint need to mix in order to get the full, magical effect of Dreamland paints! Swap your mixing tool out with a full, stiff brush to mix before using. If you are still having problems, I am happy to personally work with you to get the desired effect.
