Tonight’s Gouache study of Pololū Valley. This time I did a watercolor underpainting then mostly covered it with gouache. Seems to work similar to how pastel works with an alcohol wash first to save a layer.pic.twitter.com/xvkY5VrLiE

Ok, I need a video explaining how to control not embellishing and/or over detailing work, because I love this, and I know I couldn't. I'd have to overthink and try to put stuff in that doesn't need to be there.
I think one of the hardest things is to know when to stop working on a painting. 

This. I always see where I can "fix" it. I've gotten where I just tell myself, it doesn't suck, let it dry, leave it alone. **Or abandon them for ages incomplete. (They usually get scrapped if they've been abandoned long enough)
My favorite media atm are acrylics and collage, so I say, there's always Titan Buff to cover up stuff I don't want. But that's not so easy with watercolor or especially Chinese brush painting. 
Then I use the 6x9 of these: https://www.jerrysartarama.com/global-art-handmade-watercolor-paper-journals … For watercolor that paper is just so-so, but for gouache or with the DS watercolor ground it's great. 48 pages for $31 and with the DS ground you can recover them 2x each so like 120 pages.
Also, try doing it with watercolor, then if you hate it, wipe it down with water to just light color trash and go back on it with gouache. Then if that sucks wipe it down again and use the DS ground and do it 2 more times like that. That's 200 paintings.
