Really enjoyed Helen's approach to painting with watercolour, especially doing the shading in pencil first. This was my first time using masking fluid, and wow that saves time, I loved it. Also, this paper. I have loads of smooth hot-press & bristol paper for inking that I could have used for this project but opted for the materials recommended in the class. The Daler Rowney paper was pricy to order from my geographical location but sooo worthwhile in the end. I think I like it even better than Arches!
