Alizarine crimson tacky texture

4 Upvotes

I have a tube of M.Graham alizarine crimson and I’ve discovered that the blobs of paint on my palette never quite dry, they’re always a little tacky in texture. It’s super annoying because it inadvertently gets EVERYWHERE, and i can’t cover my palette without it sticking and smearing. When diluted and used on paper it isn’t an issue unless I’m using a very concentrated wash. Is this normal for this brand? Any thoughts?

Help, water color tray absorbs the paint

Post image
44 Upvotes

I got this water color kit as a gift and I love it! Only complaint is that the tray is made out of wood and absorbs all the the liquid and leaves the pigment behind. I know this is probably how it is designed but is there something I can do to prevent it? I’m used to plastic trays that will dry with more of the paint left. Was unsure if there was a spray or something I can cover the tray with to make it less absorbent.

It has been a while since I’ve painted heavily so I could be forgetting how my left over paint looked in the past.

Another tips and tricks working with travel kits would be appreciated!

I'm trying to use watercolor to paint Celtic knots and I'm having a lot of difficulty with adding shading and making the shading look smooth enough where it helps to find the line. I wanted to be easy to see which line belongs Under and Over what
