How to dissolve dried oil paints and gouache colours in thier respective containers?

if water is added to dried gouache colours they look dullHow to dissolve dried oil paints and gouache colours in thier respective containers?
Once the water has left Gouache, it changes to the colors....I don't find the colors particularly bright to start with. Oil Paints, once set, are all but impossible to re-dissolve...pitch them and start over. Good luckHow to dissolve dried oil paints and gouache colours in thier respective containers?
No hope for them; throw them out and buy fresh paints. Next time, don't overstock.
If your oils have dried, you need to find another use for them because they are no good for painting. The gouache on the other hand can be brought back with gum arabic and/or water. If they are in the tubes though, you'll have to cut them open and place the new mixture in a recloseable air-tight container. It's going to take some time and effort. You might be better off by beginning to replace your supplies. Good luck.
