Using and Storing Acrylics for Low-Budget Artists

Being a student, I'm on a very tight budget, and can't afford the fancy stuff like stay-wet palettes. But when I'm working on a painting, I keep my colours in an (styrofoam) egg-carton. It's great for holding plenty of paint, and for mixing as well. If I stop in the middle of the painting, I lay wet paper towel over the paint and close the lid up. The paint stays moist for about three days!
