What is muddy overworking?
Show answer
Too many layers, especially in watercolour, turn colour dull and grey. Work decisively and keep some passages clean.
What is q1?
Show answer
State the working method (light to dark or dark to light) for watercolour and for acrylic, and why. [Knowledge recall]
What is q2?
Show answer
Explain why selecting a medium because its behaviour suits the subject is what earns AO2, rather than the medium itself. [Short explanation]
