I never waste the colours I use.

After each painting session, I spread them out on an old tile and then soak it in a tub full of water and store it in the corner of the fridge.

The colours thus remain soft and reusable for a few days.

Oils or acrylics. Both?

Definitely oils, I enjoy slow drying process of oils

Me too.

Many people think that painting in oil is extremely difficult, but in my opinion it is much more complicated to paint in watercolour, for example.

Only oils

Now this is something I didn’t know and I always had a hard time figuring out what to do with paint after painting session. Thanx

What do you do when you take the colors put of the water before you can use them?

Nothing, I take them with a small spatula and put them on my glass palette.

Then I clean the tile where they were and dry it.
