I have an old (very old) hand-held can opener that I use to grasp these caps and twist them off. The inside of the 2 hand grips is an old style bottle opener, which is what I grasp the cap with. It gives me a bit more leverage for twisting. And some of these smaller caps are very hard to get a grip on!
I originally thought of doing my painting of my brushes but I found the shapes and twists of the tubes more intriguing, and I thought they would make a more interesting painting. And, of course, I had to do a close up on them.
If you're wondering what these paints are, the tubes are clockwise from top: Winsor & Newton Terracotta, Grumbacher Academy Titanium white, and Winsor & Newton Olive Green.

What a great job, Nancie!
I like your crumpled paint tubes because they look sooo familiar; but I also really like your painting of them. It is simple yet has a nice composition of shapes and color. Since you introduced the topic, I use adjustable pliers to open paint tubes.
