Remember blend mode between strokes with brush tool

[Citydel]

I select brush tool and choose multiply mode for the layer. Then I draw a line and it draws it without the layer settings: blend mode is normal.

I select multiply mode it adds it to that line. I take the Apple Pencil off the iPad and go to draw another line and the multiply blend mode is missing on that line.

I want it to keep my layer settings from line to line until I change them rather than forgetting them. Is there something I can set to do that? 

I want blending like real life watercolours from stroke to stroke.

Me too. It is very annoying because the multiply mode is very nice, and the extra effort removes all the joy.

Actually, I wonder now if it would be really necessary. I found a satisfying workaround:

Create a new empty layer:

• In layer properties, (...), set it as `Multiply`.
• Draw many strokes in it. Those strokes won't multiply each other, because they're in the same layer.
• This will conform your first 'color' layer.

Now, create a second layer, on top of the previous:

• Again, set it as `Multiply´.
• And draw as many strokes as you want.
• This will conform your second `color´ layer.

I find this method close to what watercolor forces you to do: working in color layers and waiting the previous layer to dry before starting the second.
