Watercolour Pans or Tubes?

On this website, I have mixed media tutorials where I use Pastel Pencils on top of watercolour. In the tutorial I show you how to successfully combine the two mediums and get outstanding results. In the watercolour part of the video, student's will notice that I choose to use watercolour pans instead of tubes, why?The problem that I found with watercolour tubes is that it's possible to waste a lot. Certainly when you're starting out, I recommend watercolour pans. The reason being you can reconstitute the colour just by wetting them again.The way I generally work is working from Pan to Palette to Paper. Meaning that I take the colour from the Pan, put it in my palette to ensure I've got exactly the wash I want, then use that on the paper. Very rarely will I go straight from the Pan to the watercolour paper.I have lots of watercolour tutorials on my other website Watercolour Made Easy which you can rent or buy.
