1- Discovered that when you add a thick layers of Gouache on top of a dry layer, the paint cracks and falls off!
2- I put so much paint on the paper that it took forever to dry. So long, in fact, that it still had puddles of wet paint when I had to pack my suitcases to leave 4 days later! In order to transport it back to Beirut, I had to smush a blank paper on top of it. Here are the results.
