Ask the Expert: Since Utrecht brand paint is on sale right now, I stocked up on large tubes of oil paint, and also got a quart of Titanium White. Do you know if there is a way I can make up my own custom colors in big batches without them drying up? A: We certainly do! Artists who are volume users often purchase empty aluminum paint tubes and fill them with frequently used mixtures: utrechtart/Search/Default.aspx?src=Aluminum+Paint+Tube&Search=+ Fill tubes with a palette knife and seal with canvas pliers, a small vise or fold and emboss with the end of a large brush. Make sure to tap down the paint as you go to chase off air, and wipe the seal on the open end clean before crimping.
