      How are there stored usually? I’ve seen plenty of watercolors tubes my whole life. It is no surprise to me.

        Dried reservoirs of paint in a pallette you mix a little water into are the only kind I’ve seen up till now.

        Something like this:

          I’ve known both but the dried version cannot easily be turned into paste but the paste in tube can be diluted further down to get this watery color.

            I’ve never seen or heard of the tubes before, I assume because I don’t regularly paint.

            Are they recently popular or did you use them as a kid?

              I used them as kids. Especially in art classes but for home painting, giving a kid the dried ones is more common. I assume it is because it is easier to store and to wash if when the kid put paint everywhere.
