Dried watercolor tubes can be reactivated by adding a small amount of water to the paint inside. Allow the water to sit for a few minutes to soften the dried paint before mixing it with a brush or palette knife until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can scrape the dried paint out and use it like pan watercolors by wetting it directly with a brush. Just ensure to use a clean, damp brush for best results.
