After trying awhile I found out I was using too much water and too little paint. I went on youtube to watch videos of people blending, most didn't know what they were doing but it still helped.
One thing I tried was lighting wetting the paper before adding the paint. It made it flow smoother on the paper. I often get clumps and find the paint sticking to the paper.
I also learned a little about Gels. They lessen the gloss of paint, extend the paint, and make the paint thicker, which would be useful when using Black or the acrylics that are a bit runny like Alizarin.
1. Use more paint, less water. Cake it on.
2. Wet the paper first
3. Try gels for more body
Not necessarily in that order. . .
