In this complete beginner watercolor program, I guide you step by step through essential techniques, practical exercises, and inspiring paint-along projects so you can build confidence, skills, and joy in painting.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to preserve bright whites using three essential highlight techniques, including masking fluid. We'll explore simple methods to protect white space and create glowing highlights. You'll see how masking fluid works step by step and how it transforms the painting process.
