Thank you for this tuto. You are such a good instructor. As a beginner I find that it is the best one I've watched so far. I managed to mix the colors smoothly without cauliflowers in the sand😊. I love that you give so much details as you paint along. The relatively slow pace is also very important for me as I started watercolors only 5 months ago. So please please keep posting more of this kind if videos 🙏

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Joe, been muckin around with masking fluid a little bit today, have tried it before and used to use my finger to rub it off but after watching your video tried using a "gum eraser" and also cleaning the brush with detergent and water, worked a treat, fantastic tip Joe think I will be using masking fluid a lot more now in my paintings

[@JoeCartwright]

Hi Grant, glad it was of help to you. I used to get a sore finger rubbing off masking fluid till I found out about crepe erasers. :-)

[@grantellis2840]

Thanks again Joe for a very informative video, I have a bit of trouble preserving the white of the paper as I need to practice "negative" painting more, but after seeing this lesson candle wax will be worth a try for sure, thank you once again Joe

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad it was helpful! Just remember the candle wax candle wax cannot be removed. The first three techniques are preferable so make sure you also practice them Grant.

I love your videos. You explain things better than any other instructor I've had. Thank you! I'm an experienced beginner. One thing I struggle with is signing my art. I have trouble writing with my brush, especially loopy letters like a, b, e, o, etc. My name is Kathy and I can't get past the 'a'. Any tips?

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad you find my videos helpful! I break the 'a' down into a 'c' with a vertical line on the side. Use a small fine tipped brush and rest the side of your hand on your dry paper to give you better control. I hope that helps.

[@pebble2pearl]

Great tips. Thank you!!!

[@leonidgaisinovitch1713]

I am using Art Spectrum masking fluid. It didn't work well on Art Spectrum watercolour paper each time leaving some damage when I tried to lift it regardless whether I used my finger or crepe eraser. But once I moved to Arches watercolour paper all issues were resolved.
