Hi Eli,
I’m not sure why you would think there would be some legal reason not to sell this painting. I bought the candy, photographed the candy, edited the photo and then painted the image. Why do you think there would be a legal issue?

I found that out the hard way. Will take more care now not to put too much in my pallette at a time, though I don’t put much at all. I always did my blending with just acrylics didn’t hear of guache until the last few months. Haven’t really seen any difference between how I used to use a bit of water to blend acrylics and using the guache. Still too new to watercolor to really make a judgement there.

Hi Bearstarfire,

Gouache does reactivate with water after drying. It does not return to its liquid state, but it can be used. You may think of it like watercolor cakes. When water is added with a brush, some of the dried gouache reactivates and the color on your brush can be spread over a surface.

Hi Kathryn,

Thanks so much for your kind words!!!
