Troubleshooting
Paint is too dry in the tube
Ensure the cap is sealed tightly. If slightly dry, try adding a drop of water to the tube opening and letting it sit before squeezing.
Color appears dull or muddy
Ensure you are using clean water and a clean palette. Excessive mixing or using too much pigment without enough water can lead to muddy colors. Experiment with different water-to-pigment ratios.
Difficulty rewetting the paint on the palette
Use a wet brush or a spray bottle with clean water to reactivate the paint. Allow the water to sit on the paint for a few moments before attempting to mix.
