    spritz them with a bit of water, that will bring them back to life. I can only suggest you make sure the lids are on properly and you store them out of the sun to help reduce any moisture loss, but you can't completely stop them drying out. I have some in the same state, but they are still usable with a spritz of water.

    the ones in the flat round tubs? I only have two and, although nice paints, I'm glad I didn't buy any more as mine dried out within just a couple of months.
