Yup, don't thin in the brush. I use these cups to mix in thinner:

It's a pain to mix colors, which is why I don't do it often. I'd also recommend mixing way more than you anticipate using. It really stinks to remake a color you did weeks ago.

I started asking myself this awhile ago. Personally, I use pipettes for measuring paint, for containers I have some tiny metal tins, but no matter what you do, you will always have waste. At first it really bugged me, but after I thought about it more, a jar is really only a couple bucks, and the amount actually wasted will take a long time to add up to anything significant.

For the actual measurement aspect, I go by "drops" It's not really perfect, but it seems consistent enough. I will admit that I can be lazy and will mix in the airbrush cup as well, but only if the paint is thin enough.

Basic Questions like this one would be better asked in our General Q&A thread. Make Yourself familiar with the sidebar and search button. Lots of useful information just a few clicks away.

But here these are good for washes and paint.
