frequently asked.

the water brush has a soft tank in the handle that holds water. unscrew the tank (counter-clockwise, opposite of a regular bottle), fill it with water, screw it back, and gently squeeze to release water through the brush tip while you paint.

that's the trick that makes the whole kit work without cups or a sink.

no. the whole kit is intentionally analog. there's no qr code, no app, no link to scan. there's a small guide card with three or four blending basics on it. that's it. the absence of a screen is the feature.

open the box, take out the palette and sketchbook. use the metal clip on the palette to attach the sketchbook beneath it — now the whole thing is one connected unit you can hold in one hand.

fill your water brush, dip it on a paint well, and start painting. takes about 30 seconds.

that's actually our favorite use. the water brush means you don't need a water cup, and the kit clips together so you can hold and paint with one free hand. people use sunday kits at parks, on park benches, on planes, on picnic blankets, in cafés.

the walnut palette is easy to maintain — rinse it under water, wipe gently with a damp cloth or tissue, and let it air dry. don't soak it for a long time (it's wood). dry it thoroughly before clipping it back into the box.

yes — the paints are water-based and washable from most fabrics. for best results, rinse the garment with cold water as soon as you can. if the paint has dried, soak it in warm water with a mild detergent before washing as usual.

student-grade watercolor paints — vibrant, blendable, and beginner-friendly. not the cheap kid kind, not the expensive professional grade. the right level for someone who wants to enjoy the process without spending $200 on supplies.

yes — they're concentrated by design. before painting, give each well a gentle squeeze of water from the brush and let it sit for a few seconds. the colors will go on creamy and rich. if they still feel dry, you're using too little water on the brush. squeeze a bit more.

it might be the thing it does best. the box is designed to be opened slowly, the kit is the kind of thing people don't buy themselves but love receiving, and you can add a handwritten note at checkout. about 1 in 3 sunday kits ship as gifts.

yes. at checkout, there's a "this is a gift" toggle that lets you add a personal message. we'll handwrite it on a small card and tuck it inside the box. (if your handwriting is illegible, ours is fine, we promise.)

the box itself is designed to feel like a gift — cream colored, hand-drawn lettering, snug-fitting lid, no plastic. for most people, that's enough. if you want a wrapped version, select "gift wrap" at checkout and we'll add brown paper and twine for $4.
