What a cool adventure: three artists!
So fun to see and hear the thoughts of three artists working out the problems of the sketch and re-learning gouache in one case.
A watercolor artist I know carries an empty gallon jug for dumping dirty paint water. Dumping dirty paint water is not allowed at some public lands near us, considered pollution. Would not advise throwing your paintwater on the ground where you are painting.
