Yes that was the practice I was taught many years ago but I can't
remember when or by who. Working with a large stack of prints often
dried me out though if you know what I mean.
Twirling the brush on my tongue also tickled ...

Hmmm, sounds promising, when you say brown print I assume a VDB, yes? If
that is the case, I've been quite successful with WN VDB watercolor
cakes being able to obliterate large spots when needed. Not needed often
though thankfully.
