When brush painting and you are not thinning your paint do you go straight from the jar or do you always use a secondary container? I use testors or model masters paint.

I never thin directly from brush to jar. I'd use something like a pallet dish found in most arts and crafts store or Walmart.
Guilty. Probably not best practices. When I thin enamels, or even just use my brush dipped in thinner, I use little disposable paper cups.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I paint right out of the jar (MM enamels also).
I recently learned to dip brush into thinner first (as G mentioned)...makes a big difference!
I thin in the jar. I figure if it is too thick to hand brush it is not good enough for any use. I thin it down till it is appropriate for brush use. I have to thin it further, of course, for air brush use.
