Description I was frequantly asked "How..?" So I decided to make a short tutorial and answer the main questions I usually get
This is my very first attempt to make a tutorial and share what I know. I did my best but still there are some mistakes, I hope you understand ...



You can find the finished work in my gallery [link]
Enjoy!

Absolutely great tutorial!! It expains all so well and it contains many tips for both beginers and already skilled watercolour artists. I have to try a few tricks myself one of these days.

Well, duh, that's why I've never been able to do it. I never knew of masking fluid. That would help so much! All I use is salt and gouache.
