Frequently Asked Questions

What paper works best with watercolor crayons?
Watercolor paper (90–140 lb / 200–300 gsm) gives the best results. Mixed-media paper also works well. Avoid standard copy paper as it may warp when wet.

Can children use these watercolor crayons?
These are designed for teens and adults. For younger children, we recommend supervised use. Always check the product label for age guidance.

Can I use them without water?
Yes! Used dry, they function like a colored crayon or pastel pencil — great for fine lines, outlines, and detail work.

Are they refillable or sold individually?
Currently available as a 12-color or 24-color set. Individual colors are not sold separately.

What's the difference between the 12 and 24 color sets?
The 12-color set covers essential primary, secondary, and neutral tones — perfect for beginners. The 24-color set adds more shades, tints, and specialty colors for greater creative range.

Do these work on surfaces other than paper?
They work best on paper. Results on canvas or fabric will vary and are not guaranteed.
