Sorry, that is written in Russian
In this painting of trees ( [link] ), I penciled in every shift in value and hue and mixed my paint as the values built up. It is a more graphic approach to painting, but given that gouache is easily reactivated, blending the colors together wouldn't likely be difficult if you wanted things to look more painterly.
If you do like the look of more watered-down gouache, I'd highly recommend researching watercolor techniques (as that is essentially what you're doing). The main difference between painting normal watercolor and diluted gouache, I think, is that glazing in gouache is much more difficult than in watercolor.
Let me know if you'd like more information. I know a lot of useful websites about watercolor. Information on gouache is a bit more difficult to come by it seems, but perhaps more information has become available since I last checked...
Anywho, happy painting!
