One
important key to working well with gouache is mastering the
intermixing of water and paint onto the brush. Gouache should
not be so diluted that it flows freely like water over the paper.
While this is often desirable when working with watercolor,
the result here would be a pigment that is not wholly transparent
and not nearly opaque. If the paint is not diluted enough, it
drags ragged across the surface and leaves a thick layer that
is prone to cracking.
