When you cover over previous layers, you have to put down a stroke once and not fuss with it too much.

Making Revisions in Gouache
When you paint with gouache, you can work out the details as you go and even make big revisions late in the process.

Love that touch of the wee painted figure coming to life — also wonderful to watch those brushes dance around with just enough detail to evoke a complete story.
Steve, I really like the Mack/Tidwell mini---just right for all the thin lines. Thanks again.
That was quite wonderful, thank you so much
Nice!
I was thinking that the colors you laid down for the road wouldn't work but then it just popped. Awesome!
Just wondering how long it takes for casein to dry before it won't reactivate-- i primed a sheet of watercolor paper a week ago and ithe casein still lifts easily with a damp brush.
Mitch, if it's bone dry (say, dried with a hair drier), it should seal up pretty good in a few hours, but the proteins sometimes need a day or two to get stronger. That said, casein emulsion is never terribly strong, so if you tend to scrub your paint on your later layers, mix in a little acrylic matte medium to give your base coat a stronger emulsion. Just be careful to wash out your brushes.
Thank you James,I'll give that a try.
Awesome ending.
Loved the ending when you walked away from where you painted yourself. So clever, James!!
