...a noisy brush...a brush that's not loaded with a lot of paint. I know that technically it's a no-no, but in some areas it works.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with scrubbing paint onto your painting with a noisy brush...I do it a lot too.

Using gobs of thick paint in that very FIRST layer in order to completely cover your canvas is what the "quiet brush" suggestion is all about.

BTW, You did a wonderful job on the water in your painting....maybe Cynthia could turn it for us so that we can properly admire it right side up?
