paint tubes
Squeezable color vessels
Paint tubes are small, collapsible metal or plastic containers for holding artist's paints.
The tube format, introduced in the nineteenth century, lets painters squeeze out precise amounts and reseal the remainder.
Before tubes, artists mixed pigments themselves or bought paint in fragile bladders.
Portable tubes enabled outdoor painting and helped launch Impressionism.
