Frequently asked questions
How are cel paints different from ordinary acrylics?
They are chosen for coverage, flexibility after drying, and easier handling on clear cel sheets.
Can I thin the paint with water?
Small adjustments with water are possible, but add it gradually so opacity and adhesion remain stable.
What should beginners buy first?
A starter set or frequently used colors such as black, white, and skin-tone colors are good first choices.
