To apply the watery acrylics on the wet ground worked pretty much like I expected, but then I didn't want more than some kind of even gradient from top to bottom and did it under the dragon outline too, so I didn't do anything complicated. Had I done it on dry paper, the different colors would have dried too quickly for the large area, and I would have gotten stripes I suspect.
I've never used watercolors much, and never really got the hang of how you handle them properly and make use of how soluble they are, so with acrylics I like that they do not dissolve again once a layer dried and that you can use lighter colors over darker ones too.
