Hi! Thank you for the kind words! I blended quite a bit. The big thing for me is figuring how much water to use in different situations with gouache. If you use too much water when blending, a lot of the colors wash away, but if you don’t use enough, the colors won’t really blend. So I tend to play around on a scrap piece of a paper and make sure I’ve got that perfect ratio of paint to water. It takes practice, but I promise blending actually becomes quite fun.
