Faber-Castell Ready Mix Tempera Acrylic Paint, 250 ml, Strong Tinting, Natural Tone, Smooth Coverage, Washable, Ideal for Crafts & Diagrams - Brown

Key specs include a 250 ml bottle in a natural brown earth tone, strong tinting power, smooth, even coating for minimal streaks, fast drying for quick handling, washability with water on brushes and skin, and the ability to neutrally mix with white or black to create tints and shades. It works on paper, card and primed chipboard.

Apply with even strokes using a loaded-but-not dripping brush, work in thin layers, and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Using slightly damp brushes can help achieve uniform distribution and reduce streaks on larger fill areas.

It's suitable for paper, card and primed chipboard models. It’s also great for classroom diagrams, charts and crafts where a natural earth tone is desired.

To create lighter tints, mix with white; for deeper shades, mix with black or a darker earth tone. Do this on a palette and test on a scrap surface before applying to your project.

Rinse brushes and any tools with water immediately after use. The paint is washable from hands and most surfaces, making cleanup quick and easy.

Yes. The Ready Mix Tempera line is water-based and designed for classroom use; it’s formulated to be kid-friendly and easy to clean up with water.

The paint dries quickly, reducing smears during page turns. Drying time varies with humidity and thickness, but thin layers typically set within minutes.

You can layer colors by applying additional light coats once the previous layer has dried. For best results, add new layers while the surface is still workable or slightly damp to maintain adhesion and avoid cracking.
