Hiya,

I have been teaching for 7 years - and I have 7 years worth of used and abused, started and abandoned, intact and disassembled watercolor trays in my room.

Some colors get used more and faster than others, so when a tray is almost gone, I usually pop out the leftover circle of paints and keep them in a bucket. Now I have 4 buckets full! When is enough enough!!???

What do you guys do about your watercolor paints? Trash them when a few colors are gone? constantly buy refils and keep using the same trays?

Thanks! SH
