Hello everyone! It's Sandy Allnock, and I'm excited to share another idea with you about watercolor!
Liquid Masking Fluids - sometimes called Friskets - can protect areas of your painting. This can make your life easier when attempting to paint backgrounds "around" stamped images. See how in the video!

Tips:
- Paper must be DRY before applying these masking fluids!
- Use an old brush - but dip the brush into a liquid dish soap before using to make it easier to clean the brush afterwards.
- Use an adhesive pickup to keep grease stains from skin away - and wait for the paint to be completely dry before removing the masking fluid!
Pinnable reference guide
I recommend starting yourself a pin board with tips you find all over the web on watercolor techniques - I'll be sharing lots of them here, but there are already so many out there too! Each week I'll provide a new graphic to add to your collection for quick reference!
Make your own swatches of the techniques along with me! You can store them any way you want - on a ring like I've shown below, or in a pocket page with 2x2 swatches. Or heck, make them whatever size you want! I've stamped an image on mine rather than just doing a square - because I find I get more real-world practice by doing more than a shape. Use these tip labels for the back and attach them onto the back of your swatches: Download Watercolor Swatch Labels
