We're finally jumping into the world of masking fluid today to paint these loose clovers for March! Patience is key with masking fluid as you work layer by layer thinking backwards. I can't wait to see how you do and please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: The palette I'm using today is the split primary palette by letter sparrow: cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. I don't use all of these colors in this painting but I mention each one as I use them

Masking fluid: winsor and newton slightly pigmented for watercolor

Brushes: round size 4 and size 10 Princeton brand

Kristin , I have to say that I have been behind on this little tiny paintings, only doing the ones that look doable for my beginners skills , yesterday I got brave and tackle the Chicken and the bird on a branch , I have been putting them off for a while and guess what ? To my surprise I was able to accomplish them. So Thank you , I feel like some of them are a stretch for me but it is a good thing , this is what I like about your lessons , they are all so different and I learned many things ever time.

QUESTION , How do I share my paintings and how do I see what others have shared ???? Thank you

Hi Marcela! There is a community tab with a group chat. On the computer it's on the left side of the screen and on the phone it's on the otto with a word bubble

I'm so glad! I feel like some of them do look really intimidating, but it helps to see that it's one tiny step at a time to build it up. I'm so glad you're here and going for it!

Mine came looking different but I loved layering using masking fluid, the effect was so pretty

I have a masking pen; I’ve never used it before. I guess I just draw with it like a pencil…

Kimberly

This masking fluid is really cool!

Question: I buy the same kind of masking fluid as Kristin is using - but even when it is new, it isn't really as fluid. Any suggestions - is there a way to thin it so that it becomes fluid again? I feel like I'm just wasting my money when I buy a new bottle.
