Hi Anthony, I have used gouache and acrylics on the same paper (this was before I found metallic gouache paints that I liked, which I now use). It wasn't a ...
In my experience, if you are going to do both, do the watercolor FIRST. The presence of acrylic has always prevented the watercolor from spreading. Of course...

In my experience this absorbs the alum if kept very long. This may not be true with all papers, but the ones I have used. As in, this works for me if I marble...
