Problems when using gouache outdoors.




     The biggest problem I have when painting outdoors is my gouache paints dry too fast on the palette. To compensate for that I add a drop of glycerin or American journey watercolor medium to each color. What it does is keep the paint damp longer. It doesn’t affect the drying much on paper. It also increases the flow & gloss.
Watercolor medium, like ox gall and glycerin can also be used to enhance your ability to mix and blend paints by increasing flow and prolonging paint drying time. Artists used to use glycerin to extend drying time (which was very useful when painting in hot, windy conditions) but it's a little hard to find these days. Both items are also useful when painting outdoors in freezing weather. Add glycerin or watercolor medium to your water as well as your paints to keep them from freezing.
