hey,
I just had a peroid in which i haven't painted, due to some reasons, and now there's a small layer of water (varying from 1 to 5 milimeters or something) on my paints, especially on blood red and goblin green.
is this bad? it makes it very difficult to drybrush properly. so i wanted to remove the water. but i don't know if the paint needs that water.
what to do?

water on/in my paints

PaintBrush
GW recommends using the bottom end of your paintbrush. I've done it a few times and if you got a napkin/tissue/towel handy (especially if damp) you can get the paint off the brush easily enough so there's no staining. If you use this method, you don't deforest Europe (they don't have enough trees as is) just to mix your paints 
Chromiates Warhammer Forum...yes we protested GW's new online policy.

For some reason that's the way I read the topic too.. had to read it to see what he was talking about before I realised he was talking about paint.
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking

lol so did I
i find that my paints are often either drying out or getting too wet (usually coz i put in too much water after drying them out). I wet them by adding water and mixing, or dry them by leaving them open so that some of the water evaporates. I dunno if this helps much in this situation - i say mix it and then if its too watery, evaporate the excess. Just be sure not to leave it out too long.

Really funny if you read all the posts and change paint to pant... sorry got off topic but I found it really funny.
