Dear Eric,
There is a "white" colour, that can cover things again, well
somewhat, it depends on how saturated the gelatin is. Otherwise you
really have to use a "covering" paint..
But I admit I have never used it, I always colour the print very
slowly and build it up gradually. I try not to make ther paintbrush
too wet, so that the colour does not flow all over the print.
But my models love the "power" of black and white with a little dab
of colour - like for the lips, eyeliner or ear-rings. Also if the
model has very "clear" eyes then painting them light-blue or pale
green is very stark.
Also if you have a nice b/w landscape then colouring the odd tree or
rock can be fascinating...
I just checked: the array of 13 colours is about 100 US Dollars or 60
Euros in real money :-)
Love,
Snoopy
