How to use

1. Add a few drops of water to the pan and allow the colour to soften for 1-2 minutes.
2. Mix thoroughly with a brush until the paint becomes smooth and creamy.
3. Apply with a brush or dip pen, loading both sides of the nib for calligraphy use.

If you are using a new nib, wash away any factory oil first so the colour adheres properly and flows evenly.
