In real watercolor work, if you paint an area with plain water and then add a little paint, the paint will only spread to the boundary of the original wet area. It won't bleed onto the dry area. Is this possible in Fresco without using a mask? Also, is it possible to see an area where you have painted only plain water? On real paper it is shiny, but I cannot see anything at all on the Fresco paper. (These may be feature requests, or I may misunderstand how Fresco works.)
Hi Brian, I believe that's how Fresco already works, only bleeding into the wet area.
Using the selection tool helps to prevent water going where you don't want it to.
I like your idea about being able to see where you've painted plain water though, this would really be helpful.
I tried using a mask on a plain water layer, but it didn't show anything. So I think your second point is definitely a good idea for a feature request.

Ah! Many thanks for the information. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Using the Selection tool will make a big difference in controlling where the invisible "water" goes.
