Gouache Techniques

When painting one layer on top of another it is important that the first be completely dry. Otherwise, the earlier layer will bleed into the new in an unpredictable and often unaesthetic fashion. Likewise, it is important not to overwork the second layer as this might lift up color unintentionally. A second coat diluted with too much water will have much the same effect. If one finds this process unfolding, it is important to stop painting immediately, allowing all areas to dry before proceeding.
