It's all about osmosis. Whether it's moisture or pigment, stuff moves from high concentration to low concentration. Apply wet paint to a dry sheet of watercolor paper and you get a hard crisp edge. Apply wet paint to damp or wet paper and you get a soft or even fuzzy edge. Apply wet paint or water next to damp paint and the wet will invade the merely damp.
