Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike traditional watercolor pans which use plastic half-pans and metal tins, Beam Paints Viviva Watercolor Sheets are entirely compostable. While liquid watercolors are bulky and prone to leaking, these sheets remain dry to the touch until activated with a wet brush, offering better portability than almost any other medium on the market.

How to use it

1. Open the booklet to the desired color page separated by water-resistant tissue.
2. Wet your brush with a small amount of clean water.
3. Swirl the brush gently over the colored patch to pick up the pigment.
4. Apply the paint to your watercolor paper as you would with traditional paints.
5. Let the booklet page air dry for a few seconds before closing to prevent sticking.
