The deep blue stuff is masking fluid, hee hee. :)

I've discovered the landscape art of David Bellamy, and some techniques here were strongly inspired by his soft washes. Looks more like lavender now than thistle, but I'm going to bring the prickly little buggers out again in some places near the bottom.

Jenny uses making fluid?! 😱 Must be a good one then, would love to know the brand. This painting is coming along really nicely! 💜

Even your very first washes look so perfect! How do you do this? 😆

It's from Molotow! They come as markers, and like in paint markers, you pump them until the masking fluid flows from the tip. I then remove the tip and clean it under the tap, so it doesn't clog!

That is the trick, actually - if the first washes aren't solid, nothing you will do afterwards will save your piece. I started this one twice - the background ridge turned out really green and clashed painfully with the purple. Green and purple, for me, is an utter no-go in watercolour.
