Description The other day I took the time to sit down and draw something for myself, for once. It felt good.

How did you make this without mixing the background and foreground? Did you use masking fluid?
Kind of new to watercolours here

I did. I love masking fluid, although it isn't too well regarded in the watercolouring world, haha.
Are you trying to get into it?

Started in the winter. Now I'm hooked, I paint almost everyday when I come home from work.
I like masking fluid too, though I'm sure I could learn to use it even better!

So you started by using masking fluid for the stems, then did the night sky, then removed the fluid and painted each stem? Or did you actually start by painting the stems, let dry, put masking fluid over them and then painted the sky?

I have a lot to learn.

Nice! Practice makes perfect, it really does>
Masking fluid first, yes, then I painted the background, then fluid off and painted the detail.
