Getting all the paint out of a tube | watercolor tips

[@cylenadee]

Very useful information!! I just emptied my tubes over the last several days and the method you just demonstrated is exactly how I accomplished my task! And, yes, they can be very messy!!! Thank you!!

Thank you - it's amazing just how much paint there was still hidden away in that last little bit of the tube. If you have any more 'mini-tips' like this one, I'm sure we'd all like to see them.

Good to know, thanks!

Thank you. Why does paint dry out in the tube and can anything be done about it?

That happens if the paint has been stored a long time or the cap wasn‘t closed tight. You can usually just cut the tube open, and use the paint like a pan color.
