Enzie,

I use John Howard Sanden's "Pro Mix Colors" from time to time (when I get lazy) and experienced the same "pasty" appearance. I started applying a retouch varnish once the paint was dry to the touch and discovered it returned my colors back to thier original vibrancy.

I discovered later that this is also John Howard Sanden's approach.
