I learned at least 2 things from this tutorial, you mask over paint and that you can do a beautiful background after the focal point. Thanks so much!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

So glad!

Thank you for the inspiration. I wanted to give my friend a painting of a thistle for her birthday. I painted a pale background scene and then the thistle in the foreground.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Sounds great!

Oh my gosh! I had no idea you could put masking fluid over watercolor paint that has dried. You are a genius and thank you for sharing!

[@brigittecourtey3364]

Merci Harriet, je ne savais pas que l on pouvait utiliser du fluide de masquage sur de l aquarelle déjà peinte sans que ça enlève la couleur initiale. J ai beaucoup appris avec cette vidéo. Douce soirée à vous de la France. 🙀💜

Beautiful! I can't wait to try this. I remember doing the magnolia blossom along with you and it turned out pretty good. The soft background here is so so pretty. Have a wonderful day!😊

I like this way to fill in a background on an existing painting. I have always been unable to plan how to paint background first or flower! You've got it figured out! Thanks!

[@wendykelcey1246]

You are a wizard with the brush!! Beautiful and great to know you can put masking fluid on after the fact! Very useful to know!👍😊

Thank you for sharing. Good to know these tips. I would love to know how you get a good centre in a flower. How do you make the seeds pop?

[@DawnRoberts-e4s]

[@LadyJP6969]

Wouldn’t it be much easier to use some frisket masking film vs the masking fluid? Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ancaserban8602]

Intristing

[@zahrasotoudeh37]

It may have been easier to mask the paper first, then do the background, and finally paint the flower.
