Watercolor Magic: Masking fluid techniques

1. Intro to Watercolor Magic: Masking fluid techniques: Hello, welcome to my class, watercolor magic, MySQL fluid techniques. I'm wrestling car, I'm watercolour artists and illustrator. If you've already here, maybe you are ready, Washington, first-class, easy watercolor, where I introduce the basics of watercolor in an easy and enjoyable way. Well, these clouds won't be the exception because we are going to dive deep into watercolor. Applying masking fleeting needs. Masking fluid techniques to protect the base of your paper while painting with watercolor, making wide accents to send out in your outward. These techniques are playful and satisfying. With them, you can design magical patterns, unexpected effects in chairman compositions. This or price effect is always the most exciting vd. Let's have fun Beatty. 2. Masking fluid materials: Probably you already started on watercolor. So basically you are going to need all the materials used to pain laws massively. Here I'm going to share with you die materials you will need for this glass. Watercolor pains, I always use Winsor Newton meter. You can use your favorite paints, watercolor, paper. I use 100% cotton paper. My favorite brands are arches or legion paper. Fabriano paper is also a good option. I will recommend using cold press paper in nine by 12 inch size. Now the brushes for these projects, I will use my brainstem brushes. Here I have our ROM brush number 12 and number six. And number two, I also have a flat brush and I'm up brush to bang began a riffs. Here I have the tools I will use to apply the mask employee. I will use these brushes to apply to masking. And I chose toothbrushes, mostly because the masking fluid can damage the brush after applying in. So you can get several brushes like This one's also I will use appointed band. I have practiced calligraphy for many years. And that's, but I have pointed bans. That pointed pen is perfect to create lines of text with calligraphy style. Here I have an empty marker. I found these empty marker email local story. And he has worked amazingly well to apply masking Floyd. You just have to put the liquid inside the marker and draw with it. The marker is sealed so the liquid will remain fresh and always ready to go. Now the masking fluid, there are two options, colorless and deception has as light yellow color. I use these masking fluid by Winsor Newton and it's a specific way for watercolor. These one is colorless or white. And the order has as light yellow color for this class, I will use the yellow ones can fluid. So you can see when I'm painting in the paper, both of them had the same effect and the color Damascus, just a frame of reference. This is a similar rubber band gap. You can use these or an eraser to fill the mask and Floyd. The best is to have a Zimmer rubber recap, since it will allow you to build a masking fluid easily and without damaging the painting. I will use a 4H pencil to draw, offered a watercolor paper and use it as a guy to apply the masking fluid in some of the projects. They sign, I use three glasses of water, do a fin to kinda rushes. And I'm going to use the third of modern took Glenda masking fluids from the brush. As always, I will use a paper towel to playing the brushes. Okay, so these are the supplies you will need parties glass if you want to guide the E2, the materials equality, the bronze, and the color palette I use. You can go and check out my class, easy watercolor, where I tell more about this topic. So that's our painting. 3. Exploring Masking fluid: In this lesson, we're going to start unmasking fluid and learn about the tools you can use to apply. Masking fluid is a liquid composed of Robert late days. And it works perfectly to golfer or protected paper from getting watercolor freedmen inserting eras, masking fluid will allow you to create certain effects like covering a small details as object, grading potters with white elements, separating colored areas and much more. Cindy is very creative. You just have to play with I IV, it's Freeman and live your imagination fly that uses our analysts. Masking fluid shall be applied on a dry surface. We can mark the area where you want to apply it beforehand or you can apply right away. The liquid one is send a paper instead. It will predict it from the watercolor freedmen. And the best part is that if you do something wrong, you can feel it once it's dry and you can start all over again. You can apply it with any tool. In this class. I will use several tools to apply it. I will use brushes. And remember to his bearing shaped brushes for this. Also, I have appointed Penn and these empty marker DID is for you to have fun and experiment along the process. I'm going to start doing in exploration. I will start shaking the mosque employs m does assist Lai Li color version. So I will shake it a little bit more and because Oh, Leo color is here. I will put the masking fluid in the buttercup. And I'm going to use this liquid, a fit Spain. I will do my brush and I will do sit theme right away it in paper. I will descend strobes here. Also some lines. And I assume notice the color is very soft. And it reports just as a guy for you to see what areas you're covering. That colorless version is completely white and it won't be as noticeable as this one. This is just like painting, but what you're actually doing is covering areas of the paper, protecting them from the watercolor freed man who are going to apply. You can make more strobes and use the liquid as if you're painting normally with watercolor. You'll have to use water or anything to dissolve the liquid. Also, you can make splashes waited for dat. I will do my brush in the masking fluid. I will put on my left hand on dirty brush and then I will tap over my hand with a brush. And right after using the masking fluid, I will remains my brush into water. If you let the masking fluid try E or brush, it will damage at completely. Ask it becomes very CQI and fake when it's dry. And as you can see here, there's Robert underbrush here. And that's why it's important to clean the brush. It's still little basically masking fluid, but it will work to apply it again. And it's fine because it's cheap brush and I'm going to use it only with Moscow Floyd. And adder two we are going to use is SIP pointed man. If you use a calligraphy pointed pen, you can use it with masking fluid two actually is the same process as when you use it with ink. You just have to tap into Baskin fluid and use it to make lines or to write a word or make some calligraphy. The pointed ben works with pressure, so the liquid will go out every time I put pressure on the NIF. The more pressure you apply that wider the line. You should apply pressure when you are going down and release pressure when you are going up. Just like this. Same here, I will recommend you to glean your Nietzsche's after using it and cleaning the mask and fluid from the metal, is even easier than painting a brush. And the good thing is that the middle doesn't have any risk of getting the mesh with the masking fluid. I found this marker in my local store, its sum into marker. So you can put any liquids inside of it, like acrylic paint or masking Floyd. What I did was to pour Damascus fluid inside of it and make it work like masking fluid marker. The masking fluid will be CLT into the container and won't get dry. So once you close it, you can start using it like a regular marker. For dad. You just have to press to activate a fluid and then you can start drawing, making lines and shapes. And you can use it to grab words. Here I'm using the word love or to draw things. I will draw some arts shapes. So you can use it like a regular marker. And you can do lettering or anything. You can imagine that estab layer these tool makes is very thin. The good thing is that when the layers theme that fully tries very quickly, so you can paint over right away. Okay, so we have here a full-page of exploration, and now that the masking fluid is dry, I can apply the watercolor. I will use fallow two square you are going to start are not as seeing. The masking is adding to the page. That there are particular anymore not as a ball will be the effect of the mask employed. Since it will make more contrast between the color and the white paper. Okay? Now we have to wait for Dupain to dry completely before taking off the mask of fluid. You cannot use that. If you do the layer of masking fluid or to fake, the masking effect will be the same even when you apply it with different tools. As soon as the watercolor layer dries completely, you can fill the masking fluid with this man forever pickup or with the eraser. Here, I will use this rubber band gap. This is like using an eraser. So you just have to run the paper wedded to feel the masking fluid PR on your painting. The good thing about this tool is that it's very gentle on your paper and one make any damage to your final fainting. You can also use an eraser. However, it will be tough on your paper. What I did with the eraser that I screw L ADB, and then I'll leave to masking, wave my hands. It's more slow, but it will work in case you don't have this man forever became on-hand. What I love about this seminar over B cap is that it doesn't leave any residue. This is the area where I did some spacious. And AIG has a very nice texture on the water color. This is the section or use pointed. This is the part where I use the empty marker. Here the lines are more 300K and consistent. So this is where the magic happens. The covered areas will be clean, white, and with sharp edges. It's so cool to see and define the result. This was a very basic exploration, is in one single color and exploring the tools. But once you combine this technique with different colors or the HDL subjects, you will see how masking Floyd allows you to create a unique and creative projects. In the upcoming lessons, I will use masking fluid to create patterns, cover areas of a specific subjects, combine watercolor with battery and more. 4. Creating white patterns with masking fluid: In this lesson where we integrate at colourful, where is masking truly integrated compensation and of lines and free strokes. So let's get started. Four days project. I will use this toothbrush and I will use it to make some strokes with masking fluid. Then I'm going to say is flat brush to make a pattern of lines with watercolor parts, I will grab a little bit of masking fluid and the cap of the bottle. And I will use this brush domain, a free pattern of strokes and along the beam. I will paint lines and curves without any structure. Just for a painting. I'm going to do some lines here. Shapes, curves. I will do here some drop shapes is to play a little bit with this medium before getting into a specific subject or compensation. And also warm on the later be the wave, the masking fluid technique. You can paint any shape here. I'm going to follow my intuition and pain, this tropes I feel inspired. Okay, now that we have a lot of lines and as strokes and some groups of drops, I will add the masking fluid to dry before applying the pattern of colors. Remember to wash your brush immediately after using the masking fluid, you're going to notice the batteries dry when the color becomes dark care. Now did the masking Floyd is dry? I can apply the watercolor pattern Outbrain lines. You see my flat brush. And for that, I will combine one and Googlers to make a very tropical pattern. I will start with follow to read. I will do short lines along the beach touching each other. You see what the what technique to create color blooms between them. I will combine cool colors like drug voice. Maybe with lemme, yellow, Harbour Rose, and orange. I love combining these colors. And I love the way they become very powerful in. They will make their white areas pop in a beautiful way. So this becomes a combination of two patterns juan made with the mask and Floyd, and one painted with a water color lines. Notice that every time a change colors, I clean my brush to avoid color combinations. I'm not blending in the middle of the pattern. I love choosing as strong color to make the pattern pop with contrast. I adored opera rose and I'm enjoying using a domain differentiates a fit for the team. As the batter tries, are going to start our naughty seen beautiful blending between the colors. And that's one of my frame worried parts of watercolor. Four days project. You can reproduce this color palette or you can create your own using your favorite colors. Now I'm going to wait for the so try before piling them asking Floyd. Okay, so now it's time to build a mosque and fluid. And I will just drop the painting with this seminar, buffer peak up. And you are going to start noticing those white increase peak clean areas. Forming these beautiful pattern. Is part of the process, is very real arcsine and satisfying. I'm sure you were really love this part of the project. It's like revealing something secret, so it's so exciting. You can use your hand to check if there's any residue F masking in your being dean. This pattern is dynamic, very colourful. And I will say that I love it's dropped because I love the way that the masking fluid allows me to create these if billing textures within the strokes. The final effect, the so-called campaign, this pattern using these color palette, or you can do it using one single color and adding via already with different color values along the page. It's completely up to your creativity and I can wait to see your creations on the project section. I hope you have enjoyed creating these pattern with me. See you in the next lesson. 5. Magic Rainbow Pattern: In this class, we are going to create a daughter of Rainbow's, where I'm going to use the mascot fluid to mark the power and also disempower the colors. At the same time we're going to apply with a wet technique. This time, I will draw the pattern farts and then I will use the pencil lines as the guy to apply the masking fluid. This is a very organic pattern. I will start drawing connected currents on the beach. And L0 followed the pattern by making a second line of curves under it. I'm using here my 4H pencil that makes very self lines over the paper. And the resources section of the class. You will be able to develop picture self-reference for each project, including these rainbow pattern. So here I'm completing the pattern in the entire beach. And now I'm going back to the upper curves to mark two more lines that will form the rainbow shape. All these lines will work as a guy for me to know where to apply the masking fluids. So I will leave the powder in here and I will do the rest of the lines with the brush. But the lease, I already have a reference. Okay. Now it's time to apply the mask you fluid. And with a brush, I will follow the potter over defense lines. The idea with this is to make it so you just have to go with the flow and paint the lines. Seo fail, it may go beat fake or theme is up to you and thereby p1 to putting to the SPD. I'm finishing here the first part of the body and now I will let it to dry before applying color. Okay. The masking fluid, these dry. I can paint with watercolor. To start, I would like to use a Persian blue. And what I'm going to do is to pain every rainbow with a different color. Along the pattern. I will be switching between cold and warm colors. And I would love the colors go out of the boundaries, degrade color blooms, and Blanding's am under rainbows, it will cause an interesting effect. 1c masking fluid will be removed. This part of the process is very soon and you can play with the colors, creating color harmonies, and pain without worrying about the shapes. So it's a very nice space for you to experiment and go with flow. Okay, here I will lead this rigorous color to get into the lemma, yellow, and it will create a new blend. And this is the nice part of this pattern. And don't forget to use jazz water and invite another color to come into your shape to advise already to your partner. Okay, so the patterning is done, and now I just have to wait for it to dry before peeling the masking fluid. Once opinions dry, I can use the SEM and rubber beak up to take up the masking and reveal than white areas. This VD is very satisfying and I love doing it with my daughter, who loves peeling mask employed. In case you're still not a scene Benson lines. You can use your eraser to clean up this project. It's so simple and even you can do it with a single color, playing around with different values on every rainbow and creating different effects with wet on wet, as you can see here, I started doing very teen lines, but then I relaxed in the bottom doing more wide and lose lines. And it turned out beautiful and relaxed. I hope you have enjoyed this class and I can wait to see your pattern in the project section. 6. Masking fluid Marker: Floral Composition: In this video, I will show you how to do some asking fluid Margaret would aid. We are going to create a flora composition. Let us play with his magical marker, Flores and watercolor bunnies. Okay, so I will start drawing some flowers. We have my 4H been sale, and then I will use the contour of the drawing as a guy to apply the masking fluid using the mark during here, I'm drawing some flowers and I'm including these same as catch on their resources section, so you can print it and use it as a guide. I used to draw these kind of flowers on my ipa and I love them because they are so simple but queued at the same time. So once you have drawn the flowers, you can estar applying the mascot blood. I will use the empty marker with masking fluid to mark the strokes of the flowers. I always use a paper where I can practice and activate the marker beforehand. To start, you just have to push the down and lived the liquid go out of the marker. Then you can draw with it using it like care regular marker. I will recommend you doing these on a draft paper to avoid the disease spots on your final 18. Now I will use the marker or a dependency lines to protect those areas from new watercolors demand. This tool makes a very thin layer of masking fluid and it dries very quickly. Also, this frog is constant and consistent and it creates a differing effect then the flash. And that's why I'm introducing these stole for this class. Okay, I'm not seeing the TPP has as other from Earth. So I will stop in planet a little bit and we'll use my fingers to take off and your residue of rubber from the teeth. This way I will avoid any inconsistency in the marker, a stroke. Remember that everything covered with the marker will be white. So you can use it to protect the center of the flowers or beaker white areas. He B12. Okay, so the first part is finished and it's almost right. Notice that you can take out a deep to plant fry after using the Margorie. You don't need to use water decline in. You can just feel any rubber made on the teeth, bite unmasking fluid, and it's done. Now I'm going to paint flowers, but also I will let the painting go out of the edges, creating an effective loose watercolor in combination with these defined flowers. Will started with upper rows. And I let it be this lemma, Yeah. And I will start being teamed battles CEF the flowers. You will notice that I'm painting very loose and sometimes getting out of the and painting Barry freely without worrying too much about the shapes. Just letting the color flow. Here. Many, a yellow accident in this entire to flower. And here I'll move, use only water to dissolve the Aedes and move the watercolor behind, creating a soft pink background. Now I'm going to bend a leafs weighed F lemma, yellow and green veins into environmental lose and is following Damascus affiliate guy. I will keep using water to move the color out of the edges of the beam is still wet. Here I will add accents of colors in the background using wet on wet technique. Also, I'm going to add blows up color to the paddles. Here I'm applying a progress and politically that's Karla leak. And I love this because it looks like an explosion of color. Things to get wet in wet technique, you get these beautiful blend needs of colors on each bet. All the best part is that I don't have to worry about the shape, but only about the colors. Heron bean team, the last flowers and leaves scenes. All the colors are fresh. They are getting combined into fainting and forming new shades. By this red and green together. I'm going to add each color to the background. May with upper rows and lemme yellow. And then I will expanded with water all over the beach. I'm going to add accents of colored into background. Applying the caller when the base is wet, arose or yellow is up to you and the color palette you are using. Okay, now it's time to land the painting to dry before p lambda masking flee. Now that painting in stri, and I can build a masking fluid with the Robertson Pekah. And with this I will discover the weight areas and reveal all those sharp, wide lines and the radius, the Finish it can test if you left any residue forever touching the paper with your hand. Here you have a nice way to say my skin fluid marker, combining a detailed drawing with Liz watercolor. I hope you have enjoyed this video and don't forget to sharing your being Team in the project section. 7. Masking fluid and pointed pen: In this video, I will show you how to use masking fluid. We'd actually graffiti pointed fan. Remember that if you don't have a point at Ben, you can still do this exercise with brush. Let's have fun. If you are an user bonded bang or not. You can still do this exercise. This pattern is very simple, so you can do it with a brush as well. You can use the pointed pain as normally as usual. And the only difference will be that this time we are going to use masking fluid instead of IQ. Star dB. My brush inside the mask employed. And I will use them asking fluid to draw our group of three to four lines going in the same direction. Then I will do another group going in another direction, and I will follow this pattern along the beach. You'll have to charge your neve with masking fluid from time to time. Just as you do with the rush, remembered that when using pointed, the fluid goes out when applying pressure over v. So here meant blind on theta b, the pressure as I move the TPP, if we burn em painting that groups of lines in different directions to create via already on the US organic pattern. At this point, we've got a little bit of sticky and that's not wrong. But now the fluid is not flowing. So maybe assigned to clean it with a towel and with my hand, I can feel off and you try rubber from the deep. And once explained, I can continue with the pattern. Okay, in the next minutes, you are going to see how I create this pattern all over the page. The texture, the masking fluid is like rubber. It creates theme fail over, do paper and it's a sticky in cold to the touch. You will know that it's dry. When it gets dark, you can watch it and you didn't get any material your fingers. Also, you will notice that it's shiny even when it's dry. Okay, now I will start beating. I will be integrating domain. This pattern is send out fairs. I will add only one page. Now I will add follow turquoise in the top. I wanted to be dark gerund in the top like the pure pigment. So I will add more color here. And I will follow, pulling the color now. Just with water. With upper rows and lemme yell out, creat a South Beach color to transition between the two. Likewise, in a more intense rows. Now, I would add more upper rows. If you want to know more about how to breed ratings, I invite you to check out my course is the watercolor, where I digit the basics of how to create radians and create color combinations. Lsat these transition of a to be here. And I'm going to finish this gradient, lead a more intense color. I will use the Bureau Fichman of upper rows. The darker the color, the more clear what will be the pattern? Ok, now the grading is done and I will let it do try to build a masking flee. This looks so beautiful. Look at these beautiful watermarks. They are very soft and nice and the pattern looks awesome. Even when I haven't touched the masking fluid, it's time to reveal this magical butter. I will rub the masking fluid with the center rubber beak up is my favorite part. This looks so magical, imperfect to me. I can see these on a book cover or as a pattern for a product like a bottle or fabric. I love it. And so nice to be able to Bain frilly with a warming about protecting white areas. Just letting Deb inspiration flow and knowing that the pattern is protected with the mask employed. As you can see, blinds or crispy and clean and he can make up any pattern. You can imagine with this technique. I hope you have enjoyed this class. See you in the next lesson. 8. Protection areas: Magic butterflies: In this video, I will show you how to his mosque in fluid to protect areas on any specific subject. For dad, where going to Bain some butterflies. I will Bain three butterflies with differently signs. And I will use him asking fluids to protect wide areas on the design of their weights. I will start drawing the butterflies for your convenience. I have added the sketch of these butterflies in the resources section. That way you can have an eye to draw them yourself. These are very wild butterflies, nothing fancy. They are very simple, but I'm using this for h pencil suddenly because m edges doing a guide for me to paint the butterflies. But I don't want the paper to be mark. Once it's painted. Here, I'm going to draw the details that I want to be white, lie these lines in the wings. I can also mark a small pattern or dots or any area you want to protect from getting water coloring it. Now I have the sketch of the butterflies in our store applying the masking Floyd. This time I will apply the fluid in the lines with these small brush. This is a 0 brush because I want the lines to be very feet. In the second Bartov into second Butterfly, I will mark a line and some dots of the button of the wings. And in the third Butterfly, I will mark these curved lines along the wings. I'm asking you very ARAF here, but they will make a huge difference in the final painting. I get back to the second butterfly and adding drop shapes to create an organic pattern. Now, I can start painting the butterflies to bender butterflies. I will use my Rhonda brushes, numbers six and number two. I would start being deemed the first Butterfly. And I will use fellow turquoise to pain. It's leans. I'm going to start with a very light color. And here I can start adding Fichman and then water juggle that color along the wing. I'm going to add more being made here in the bottom to add contrast. Notice that I'm adding the big man very safely and quickly. Then water will flow and do its magic. I'm trying to not overdo anything here. Remember that the white areas will stand out better when the colors are darker. I'm going to Bain the second butterfly view use a combination of upper rows with escargot Lake and yellow together lived orange color. Saying here, I'm adding darker tons in certain areas using wet and wet. I love using wet and wet because the water does the magic and the effect is so natural and soft. Here they'll have to overdo anything here. Just Lab the color flow with yellow ochre and I will paint the bottom of the weeds from member. I use masking to separate these two colors. So I don't have to worry too much about the line between them. And even if the colors and with each other, that white line will be there and the effect would be very natural and cool at the end. Now the final butterfly, I'm going to use cobol turquoise lie to paint it. I will use for its water and then I will add the color big man with wet and wet. And finally, I'm painting about answer wins with lemon yellow to add color contrast. Here I'm combining barns burn with Ivory Black to create dark brown. And we did elevate the body of the device. I'm using numbers, number two for this part of the butterfly. They are certainly don't and fame. And I'm just pressing a light at the end, a fit to close it with a little drop shape. To finish the butterflies, I will add details to the wi's. You seem followed two requires em with my brush. Number two, I will make some drop shapes on the first butterfly. For dad, I'm just putting my brush in 45 degrees angle and with a little bit of pressure, I can create a small pattern of drops. For the second butterfly, add some brown lines along the Weeks. And with the same brown color and I will be in some details. On the third butterfly. You can nest lines or props or any partner you can imagine. Notice that the base of the Wien's is still wet so the lines, the fuse, the lighter bid, creating a beautiful watercolor effect. Okay, the butterflies are ready. I will lead them to dry before building the masking play. It's time to build the mask inflated. The butterflies are dry and unwrap the masking fluid with the salmon rubber beak up. Its finite because this works as an eraser tool. So it builds a mask employee and delayed all the benzene lines underneath. Okay, this beautiful watercolor butterflies are ready to fly. I love these weren't accents on its wins and they wouldn't be possible without the mask employed. I can't wait to see what you create with this project. See you in the next lesson. 9. Lettering with masking fluid: I'm pure Magic: This lesson is fear romantic. I'm going to show you how to combine how literary with masking fluid. I prize is going to be easy and fun. Let's get started. I'm going to start by sketching the phrase or lettering. I want e, my drawing for this painting outright the quote, I am pure magic. You don't need to do a complicated lettering. Just try writing clear and big letters and centered quoting your beach. The bass is to do it as simple as possible to start. But if you have dry hand lettering before, you can go beyond this, feel free to use the hand lettering reference I have included in the resources section. Okay, so now I have the strokes for the lettering I want to do. Now, I will use a brush with masking fluid to define the lettering. Notice that IV is only as strokes for the letters. So I will use the brush to give the thickness to the letter. Here I'm painting every letter with a mosque employed. And to keep them a little bit, seek to make them visible and more not as evolved. Once I apply that color, I'm going to paint a galaxy behind the letter e. So I'm going to create a stars by doing some masking fluids is splashes. I will charge my brush with mass concluded and with my hand under underbrush. I will tap all of our debate ij. Okay, so the lettering and the slashes are dry. And I can start painting the Galaxy. I'm going to use this mock brush scenes. I have to pay in these areas and it holds a lot of water. Also I might get because it helps to create irregular spots of color with a deep and that's perfect for the Galaxy I want to paint. I would start by applying water to the whole page. This is a nice way to create gradients with wet on right technique. Then I will start applying the color. First, I will pane with lemon, yellow and desktop. I will pain only this corner to start. Now, I will combine Lama yellow with upper arose to start creating the gradient towards a pro rose. This is a Galaxy, so the radian doesn't have to be perfect. Hearing Blaine with colors and making them flow on the paper. I will add spots of color in certain areas to make shadows and advice to the galaxy. Now, I'm going to move the grading towards two y's and missing here, cobol turquoise light. And with the tip of the branch, I can introduces the color into the pink area. I will use only water to bullied color down and prepare disbarred if the painting for the next big man with fellow turquoise, I will add contrast at the bottom of the galaxy. And I'm trying to let the colour flow naturally in the water. With the pure pigment. Follow two records. I will define some dark spaces. This mob Brush allows me to create an organic Derrick area at playing the color width, small patches like this. As long as the vapor silhouette, I will add this, uh, spots of color and they will spread south. Leave for me magical shades, I love the spark. Also, I can add some spots of color in different areas along the galaxy. With my round brush and lemme yellow, I'm creating it spots of light along the galaxy. Also, I can make some shades to add contrast. And finally, I'm using only water and with my rounded brush to create a spots of light and watercolor balloons. The more you brush, the more light you will get in this spot. With that, I'm finishing the painting and I will let it to dry. Ok. Now my favorite barred remembered that this galaxy has a lot of little dots in his blushes, though the willpower pap after filling the masking fluids. So you have to take care of removing all those latest spots. I'll start feeling the lettering and the background. You will find a lot of satisfaction and these step, okay, now it's come to the leak ln. This was cell ECM faun, I love the color combination. The galaxy shades, the lettering, and even more stars. I hope you have enjoyed this lesson and don't forget to share your bean team in the project section. 10. Negative spaces: Bear in the forest: In this lesson, I will show you how to use mosque employed to gray negative. As basis for that, I will be a beer with mosque employed and then I will add a goal or around it to make it a standout in the composition. I have drawn beforehand the shape of a beer and as a reference for you, I'm including this drawing in the resources section. I will use the masking Floyd to protect the bear shape and these trees over here. And then I will apply the color. I'm going to start applying the math conflicted. Museums are rounded brush number four because it's more versatile Japan Alito areas. Here I'm finishing the barrier shape and now I'm fainted trees, I'm using the masking fluids the same way. I use b and fall when the shade of the trees making these branches. And imagine MP with white color. From time to time, I switched from the brush number four to the number two to make a more fine lines and a smaller trees or little details. And finishing this part. And you can notice that I'm leaving a lot of spaces among the mask include area that way, eloquent contrasts with the watercolor. Once the masking fluid is dry, I can start being team. For this project. I will keep it simple using only indigo color. The best is to start a light and then more Fichman as you go. Hello, start almost with water. And we'll apply a water along the beach. And once the area is where I will start applying the color, I'm going to kind of a forest into background. So I'm thinking to say are going out tomorrow, does shape of amman time here and do back pain and not our montane shape. And I always start spreading the indigo color with several lines defining the chorus by Brown. I'm getting back to the montane dieback, adding more pigment. The darker the color I use, the more contrasting will be debated. The actor pill AND mosque employed. That's why I'm adding more Freeman here. Here I am using only water to politically. So basically what I'm doing here is to create the base of the forest. And then it will feign some trees. Remember to put colors to add contrast and define the Shapes. I'm going to start creating some trees here. Then we'll get the fuse since the papers is still wet, but they will help to create a sense of death to the painting and will make several of them at the edge of the mountains. I'm making here is several layers of trees, some of them darker than otters. Here I'm using only indigo colors, so I'm playing with the valleys of the color that you can use several tons and add priority to your painting. For the shapes. Maybe you can use green or tool, or maybe you can do a more brownish arrest. I'm going to paint more trees here in the back. Maybe they should be smaller. Now I'm going to let the painting too dry to add more detailed trees. Hearing painting a tree with the pure pigment F indigo. Since that paper is try and can add more detail. I'm going to diffuse the base of the tree with a little bit of water. And I will add more trees here. Some other thing B and small, forming a forest in the back of the bear. Okay, the painting is right now. So it's time to build a mask inflate. This layer of masking fluid is since I cover a B here. Now what did the masking fluid? You can see that very clearly. And the trace of the bird blind with the pain team forming and appealing and charming composition. You can use this same technique using any shape you like, an animal, an object, or anything you imagine is a nice way to create negative space says on a design. And if you get creative, you are going to get amazing results. 11. Final thoughts: Thank you for watching this class. I can't wait to see your watercolor paintings in the project section.
