Can you do this. As purified water is all i have
I could be totally wrong but I think you want distilled water if you are going to be storing your paints, so bacteria doesn’t grow. If you are making a batch to use once and that’s it, it’s probably okay. Pretty sure when I was a teen I just used tap water lol. I use distilled now even though I don’t store my colors.
I use purified water and haven’t ever had a problem with stored batches. I wouldn’t use tap water. There’s too much ‘stuff’ in it-algae, chemicals, chlorine, etc.
Purified water still has minerals in it that can possibly interfere with some paint products. Distilled does not, which is why it is recommended.

You could but you’d risk having problems with the paint. Why risk it when distilled water is so cheap?
