wet in wet
Explanation:
.. well in offset printing, if you don't have a drying unit between the colour stations, you print 'wet in wet'.

It's a qualified guess, that there is no difference in painting. :-).. .. in fact I have just googled the term. Which is also 'wet-om-wet'. Pick and choose.

Sorry not wet-om-wet but of course *wet-on-wet* or without the hyphen. /Birthe
