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.
