The white wash you're discussing here reminds me of Bill Alexander back in the 80s was an oil painter on PBS and he would always use magic white on the canvas. He was the original wet on wet oil paint artist. Anyway I love your work it has that same feel.
It depends on where and how you use the wash. In the Victorian era they applied it to the paper as kind of a gesso but it was likely allowed to dry. Magic white will stay wet for a long time so if you try it that way you would need to paint quickly. So either paint while wet, paint after dry, or mix as you go with whites or a combo of those. Thanks for the comment.
Wow I love this, just wish I could find my white gouache, definately going to try this. Thanks for sharing Joe 👍

Interesting!!!
Thought provoking
Will try a wash of gouache
Something tells me the watercolour won't move...flow mingle as on paper
It will change the flow if you’re used to a certain flow for sure. For some that might be a good thing.
