Why wouldn’t you use gouache with the “watercolors” ?

My shadows form week 2 look quite purple now that they are dry. When I painted them, they looked like they had a lot of teh Payne’s grey, but not now that they are dry. How can I fix this?

I recently logged into the live lessons videos (desert landscape). I am now caught up. Just wondering when lesson 6 will be posted. I am a beginner and loving it.

Matt — Is it correct that I think you stated pan paints are not as strong in color as paint out of the tube? I have a set of tube Daniel Smith paints and am having difficulty painting the pale/more muted colors. I am heavy of hand which is a burden when painting watercolors so you put that along with the tube paints — I am sure you can imagine my distortion of what you convey in your painting. Please advise how I should proceed with these two cumbersome habits to correct them. Thank you, and I am so glad you are well again and back teaching us!! I LOVE your classes and am a loyal patron.
