Going Traditional

So I am trying to train myself with traditional medium. Last weekend I went to an artstore, a very rare place in Manila, and bought new watercolors and a masking fluid.  (We also bought turtles that day, weee!)  I started playing around with it, and this is the most decent thing I got. This is very small, about 3R i think.

1. Don't use too much water, don't leave a puddle in your paper.

2. Paint OVER the masking fluid (duh).

3. For very small details/shadows, use a colored pencil instead.

4. Don't be impatient and let the paint dry first or else, it'll be very messy.

 

Lesson I stil have to learn: mixing colors
