I'd recently purchased some gouache to see if the opaque watercolor paint would be something I could take on when I travel. I've painted with watercolor but gouache was new and I wasn't sure how to use it.
My first dabs ended up a lot like watercolor; as I layered paint on and used less water, they became more and more opaque. I liked the feeling of it, but I didn't have a good red for mixing -- it makes gray or brown or pink, but it's too muddy/opaque to make a good purple or violet.
I got looser as I went along -- I need to keep working on this to see if I can make this work!
