Found a half-dried tube of Prussian blue in a park bench donation box
I was cleaning out the art supply donation box at the community center downtown after my shift last Tuesday and found this nearly full Winsor & Newton tube of Prussian blue wedged between a busted sketchbook and some dried-out markers. Some kid must have dropped it in because it still had a bit of paint that squeezed out perfectly for a sky wash I needed. Anyone else ever rescue paint from weird spots like thrift stores or sidewalk sales?

Honestly, that's the universe telling you to make something blue!

A free tube of paint is a free tube of paint, I guess. But half-dried Prussian blue from a park bench donation box doesn't sound like much of a score to me. You squeeze out one good sky wash and probably spend ten minutes trying to scrape the crust off the cap. I'd rather just buy a fresh tube for eight bucks and skip the fuss.
