I get tubes and put the paint in full pans on my pallet. But i do have 3 half pan sets i got to experience the brands. Then I get the tubes in the brands I like. I'm newly in love with Rembrandt ultramarine deep and cerulean blue. Take care Michele 🙂 ❤

I keep "contaminating colors" and/or colors that I only use a tiny bit of ( like phthalo blue and green, caput mortum, titanium buff) in half pans. It prevents them from messing up my other colors, or saves space in the palette.
