Description

If you have watched my previous classes, you know that I love working with watercolor. In this class, you get to unleash your creativity by exploring a much sought after medium - masking fluids! In this class, we will take a reference image (by Luke Stackpoole on Unsplash), simplify it, and use masking fluid to retain the whites. We will then paint the artwork with watercolor, while learning techniques like wet on wet etc.

Since I wanted everyone to paint, I have used ONLY 5 colors in this class - the colors that come with every basic watercolor set.

What you will need:

Any Watercolor paper (I have used Hahnemuehle Mould made watercolor paper)
Brushes in sizes 6 round and 2 or thinner with a pointed end (I have used Winsor & Newton and Escoda)
Masking fluid (I have used Schmincke)
Watercolor - Cadmium Red (any red will do), Cadmium yellow (any orangish yellow), Sap green, Ultramarine blue and Black
Jar of water and paper towel
Washi tape or masking tape to secure and get crisp edges
White gel pen and Black brush pen (optional)
Pencil and eraser for sketching
