Hi all
I've literally just started painting, and was given a whole bunch of watercolour tubes. I also bought a small set of pans.
Anyhow, reading another thread has made me realise I think I'm using my tubes wrong. Is the idea to fill an empty pan with a tube colour, keep it and then use it as tho it were a pan? I've been squishing a bit of tube paint onto a palette, then washing it all away after the painting is finished. Do you see what I mean?
Thx in advance
D :-D
