You need a separate palette with any brand of tube colors. That might be my problem, though.ДЄquafine: Yep. If youвЂ™re me, it gets in your hair, on your face, and has the cat always been green?ДЄquafine: IвЂ™m a klutz and I got the paint all over. Fresh paint gets on fingers and clothing. Problem: Once paint has dried on the palette, it wonвЂ™t rewet well, causing most of the problems mentioned above.ДЄquafine: Even after the paint dried completely on the palette, it rewet easily, dissolved in water, spread and mixed well, and the colors were intense. I massaged the tube gently, and that solved the problem. Problem: The pigment and binder *separate.ДЄquafine: The Chinese white was separated when I opened the tube. Problem: The paint wonвЂ™t dissolve into a liquid when mixed with water.ДЄquafine: The paint dissolves into liquid when you add enough water. Problem: The paint is stiff and wonвЂ™t spread or mix with other colors. Problem: Colors are pale no matter how much paint you use.ДЄquafine : The colors are intense whether you use lots of water or a little bit of water. How did the Aquafine tube paint perform? Let me put it in terms of the common problems that can occur with tube paints, especially student grade. Watercolor squeezed fresh from the tube will allow for the widest range of techniques. There is nothing quite like freshly squeezed paint from a tube for getting those really juicy, dripping colors, and for creating smooth, even washes. The colors are never quite the same, but I found the Aquafine hues to be strong, bright colors. That means the paint is formulated to look like a pigment, such as Cadmium that is expensive or possibly toxic. The colors work well together, and mix well. There is a nice mix of transparent, semi-opaque, and opaque. The colors are vibrant - bright but not brilliant or fluorescent. Most of the Aquafine paints are rated as three stars out of a possible four, which is described as вЂ™Normally PermanentвЂ™. I think lightfastness is probably the main difference. This statement paired with my experience in testing the colors leads me to call them high-end student watercolors.
