#they rehydrate because they're watercolor

[greater-than-the-sword]

Hey fellow artists/crafters,

I don't actually know much about Proper(TM) paint disposal processes, but please do know that Cadmium is super toxic and difficult to remove from the water supply so if you have significant amounts of leftover/mixed cadmium paints (most commonly red and yellow) remember to put them in (ideally a sealed container in) the trash can and NOT wash them down the sink!

#also please dont waste your watercolor aaaaaaaaa #i got my sister a watercolor tube and was horrified to learn she didnt know you could save the squeezed out lumps #they rehydrate because they're watercolor #significant = more than on your brush #if you ask me #because not everyone can retain giant buckets of wastewater #so im not gonna say dont wash your brushes #but do what you can
