Well I've done that but they don't become opaque, they cover the underlaying paint.

Sadly, they're watercolours, so it's really not going to work that well. If they were acrylics, yeah, you could water them down, but I can't see watercolours really working without something to soak into.

Some people use watercolour washes as an alternative to oil washes. I've personally never tried it, but I've heard it doesn't work as well as oil washes but has the benefit that you don't need to use harsh solvents.

You need to water them down, apply them like a wash, use a cotton bud to clean them up, then seal them with a varnish.

and watercolour paint will rehydrate again once it dries if you add more water.
