Guys,
I have a problem maintaining my paint.
Here the situation:
- I don't have much time for the hobby and only very sporadically have the chance to do some painting.
- I have bought many paints (mainly GW and Vallejo) over time, and since I am not painting intensively, they get "old".
- I also use the air brush
Here the problem:
- So every time I open a paint pot there is a surprise in which state it is. Sometimes it partially dried out, sometimes the paint has decomposed. So I try to recover the paint with variable success. and mostly not getting it to the right consistency for painting.
- For air brushing I just last weekend with a Vallejo Air color cluttered my air brush, which just killed all the joy.
So many times I cannot really enjoy painting, as the paint is too thick or to thin or somehow doesn't really paint nice.
So here my questions:
- Any suggestion on how you store your paints and maintain them?
- How do you make sure your paints have consistency?
- Any tips on how to "recover" paint, if it got thick/dry or decomposed?
I think you get the picture.
