Saving mixtures under water

I am testing a method of preserving my mixtures over day's and weeks.
I find it annoying that a good mixture will dry up and be wasted if the paint is not used up the same day.

So now I put the remaining paint, basic colors and mixtures, down under water over night or longer. The paint seem unaffected of the stay under water and I can even let it be in it's deposit and only take a little part up on the palette, with my knife, when I will need more of a given color.

I use a glass basin, 2 " high and squared. Inside the bowl is a glass plate that fits to the button so that I can easily take it up for placing paint or cleaning.

This seems so far to work well.
