Allow the surface to dry slightly.
Paint into the still damp surface. This allows the paint to be mixed and blended on the paper.
Keep the brush damp but not loaded with water.
Treat all the other areas in the same way. To avoid colours running into each other try to leave a line of dry paper between the washes.
Leave any white areas as white paper.
