If I may make a suggestion, try to paint a bit wetter. Same strength, only more water. You make it more transparent that way.

Thanks Edo. That was exactly what I was struggling with. I often mix paint with an old brush, then paint with the good ones. This time I just did direct, maybe I was too cautious. And it is hotter than usual here even indoors (will be 33C today) But please I have a question: 1/

Question: How do I get same strength if I use more water? Do you mean mixing on palette with more water? Wouldn't that result in more dilute paint, lighter color? (Your advice is much appreciated) 2/2

From 1.20 minute youtu.be/Ygz1owv6R_Q?...

Good to see it to remind myself how it should look/feel to avoid that scrubby style. Thanks again, Edo. I can hardly wait to get through all the stuff I have to do today (including Labor Day protests) and get to try it again this way

💙🙏 Thanks!!

When it is that hot, washes dry before you can say A Oliver got a excellent demo from that, how to stay fluid, but strong enough. I look it up.
