I haven't painted in a long time..but perhaps like a gouache, or just get really good at dry brushing?
I think the thing your avoiding is the thing you should learn. Consistency = skill.
Learn the touch yknow.
Do different paints dry brush differently? I guess that's kind of the same question. I'll just have to experiment.
Yes they do, and its almost impossible to say which is "best". There's one that's best for your paper/canvas, your brushes and your technique. The only way to find the best for you, is to buy a few tubes of different brands and see which ones you prefer/find easiest. And don't worry about wasting paints if you don't like them; stick with white and primary colours and you can use the others for different techniques. You can even mix paint of different brands, to get a balance between them.
