Some artists like to squeeze out fresh paint every time they start work.

For example yellow contaminated with orange is less of an issue.
I really do think that making your own watercolor pans is the best practice for most watercolorists. Not only because DIY pans are economical and ultimately the best way to get a personalized color palette. But also the fact that starting with tubes of watercolor gives you the best of both worlds. If you start with tubes you have the choice and fle...
