## Questions & Answers

**Q: If used like a watercolor stick, can you write with a marker over it once it's dry?**
A: Ok, I just tried that with a gelato and white watercolor marker.  It seemed to work fine, as a bonus, the gelato did not discolor the marker nib.  I did use a heat gun to dry the wet gelato.

**Q: I want to order the pastel colors, but Picture and description colors don't match??**
A: The title "Faber Castell Pastels Gelatos Mix & Match Set", ASIN B00U5M0756, is the pastel set, even though the color is listed as "creamy."

**Q: Can these be used in Adult Coloring books?**
A: These can be used as watercolors in adult color books with removable pages--like the HOTP Colorist books. They should not be used with lighter-weight double-sided pages.

**Q: What are the 2 wedges in the kit used for, 1 is soft and 1 is hard?**
A: I use them for blending and making marks in the product once it's on the surface. Makes beautiful blended gradients and texture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gushing Review for An Awesome Supply
*by K***. on 12 October 2015*

The review for these Bright Gelatos could be summed up in one word: PERFECTION. Since it's impossible for me to leave a review that short (seriously - I might even call myself grandiloquent...no, I wouldn't - I'd call myself a big mouth lol), I have to tell you why I find them to be totally superb. Let's talk about the color - delicious bright shades of tropical colors. These are the colors I would surround myself with in my world. I love how vivid and luscious they are. Consistency: Like a velvety lipstick, they lay down color on every surface I've tried with splendid results. It doesn't take much to create a piece that really sings - especially when water is added. Using the included paintbrush with some water will allow you to move these yummy creams around your project with incredible ease. Adding a little water will just turn these into succulent watercolors - adding more water will allow you to achieve the "washed out" look that is so popular right now. (See my photo of the house I made with these.) The included paintbrush: LOVE the quality! Usually brushes that are included with a kit (of any sort) are awful...but this one isn't. I really do ADORE it! I have used it for so many things. It's my favorite brush and I get small panic attacks when I think about how I'll get along when it's done. Hasn't lost a single hair, is firm, but not too firm, picks up the perfect amount of water...ahhh. I love this thing! Versatility: Gelatos will work on just about any substrate you're pondering. You also have tons of options when it comes to putting them on the substrate...slice of a little and put it in some water in a spray bottle and mist it on your project. Apply directly from the tube. Use a paintbrush. Use a wet paintbrush. Use a cotton bud. A tissue. Your finger. A palette knife. Dauber. Sponge. It's late, I'm tired and not feeling creative right now - but you get the idea. Gelatos are fantastic for experienced artists and newbies alike. They are my new favorite supply - which says a lot. (My house is like a mix of Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Dick Blick combined....but only because I would need the square footage of all three of those stores to properly store all my supplies!) Workable fixative seems to hold these in place, although I have to say that I haven't noticed any color change when adding another wet medium AFTER these have THOROUGHLY DRIED. I also like to use a combination of clear gesso and clear varnish (in a thin coat) to make sure everything stays the same on a prior layer, while adding some tooth for a new layer. If you are looking for an amazing colorful supply, CLICK BUY!! What are you waiting for? Oh - and these also come with two sponge wedges (like make up applicators) - one soft and one hard. If these things would make me coffee in the morning, I would so run away with them.
