[Aquanet] Moldy paint

[NitaLeland]

Which red? What brand of paints do you use? Do you live in a humid area?

  I do not have payne's gray in any of my wells...I have squeezed some of it into the center of my palette for occasional use.

  The pthalo gets a little bit but it is really a spillover from the olive
  which lives next to my pthalo.

  the worst is the red.

  the cadmiums are unaffected.

  I have heard that Payne'e Gray is the color that makes a lot of mold, perhaps it infects the rest of the paints. FWIW,

    I keep throwing out paint and replacing it because mold

    keeps hitting my palette...

    only certain colors are affected ...olive green, one of my red ( brown madder, I think)

    I know there was a thread on this before.
    What was the best advice?
    Is there anything I can put in my palette to retard or prevent this?

    i even tried drying my palette out overnight.

    I don't get it.

    Do you think I just need to start over again with a new palette?
