Description
I FINALLY FINISHED IT!
Gosh that took me so long. I hope it will be helpful for you!
Used pictures:

I didn't spell check and I had some problems finding the right words in English, since I'm German. If there are mistakes... sorry about that. xD
Thank you so much for the DD to =kayleero and ^Elandria ♥

FUCK, dieses tuto ist so VERDAMMT hilfreich!
und das beste ist das du deutsch sprichst und ich dir deswegen 2 zusätzliche Fragen stellen kann, wenns dir nichts ausmacht ^^
bei dem teil "lighter drops on darker ground" hast du erwähnt das diese Technik am besten mit ecolines geht, was sind ecolines? ist das ne bestimmte Farbe? wie heißt die auf deutsch?
und ich würd i.wie gern mehr über dieses masken wissen.
wie nennt sich das "masking fluid" auf deutsch? und wo kaufst du das? ist das teuer? muss ich da was bestimmtes beachten?
sorry das ich dich so mit Fragen zuballer ^^
auch ohne die weitere Hilfe komm ich mit dem Tutorial schon seeehr weit würde ich sagen, echt, du erklärst gut zusammengefasst das Grundwissen (kurz und knackig, kann man sich gut merken), hast die beispiele schön beranschaulicht und verrätst noch ne menge Tipps für Effekte die ich noch nicht kannte

haha Dankeschön!
Also, Ecolines sind flüssige Aquarellfarben ([link] ), die haben auch im deutschen keinen anderen Namen, weil das ihr Markenname ist (Talens Ecolines, um exakt zu sein). "Masking fluid" heißt einfach Maskierflüssigkeit oder, bei einigen Marken, Rubbelkrepp. Über die Benutzung gibt es einen Paragraphen in meinem FAQ ([link] ), den ich jetzt mal kopiere, weil ich denke, dass ich dir den nicht übersetzen brauch
"Masking fluid is a liquid that you can cover up spots of your painting with that you don't want to be affected by color. You paint it on with a brush (use an old one, because masking fluid destroys the bristles), then it dries to a thin rubber coat. You can now paint over it, without the watercolor affecting the paper underneath the masking fluid. To get it off again, carefully rub it off with a pen-eraser or your fingertip. If you put masking fluid over a spot that is already colored it depends on the colors and the paper you use whether or not it will damage the color or paper."
Mein Rubbelkrepp ist von Schmincke und ich hab mir das bei Amazon bestellt. Einfach mal googlen nach dem Preis, den weiß ich grade nicht. Ich hab die 250ml Flasche, mit der man schon ziemlich lange auskommt.

Ughh loverly, just loverly
I wish I had discovered that there was such a thing as masking fluid before I started using watercolors
On the off chance that there's no masking fluid to be found around, is there any other alternative..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! :3
Not one that works as good, as far as I know... But it's not that hard to get your hands on masking fluid. I bought mine on Amazon.

Thank you so much for making this. This is goin' to help a lot.

I have a question, how do you actually "un-mask fluid?
just wipe it off? wiping off on watercolor is kinda bad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Since it's a thin rubber coat as soon as it's dried, you can carefully rub it off with a clean eraser (light pressure). Of course the watercolor has to be dry at that point too. Usually it doesn't damage the paper or colors. But that depends on many things (paper, colors, your experience).

thanks you so much for telling me. Your tutorial helps so much!

You just peel it off; like glue off skin (weird comparison but same idea) at least from what I have read :3

Do you stretch your paper to avoid buckling, or is the 200g paper heavy enough to not buckle on its own?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it does buckle in the process (A LOT), since 200g is pretty thin for watercolor paper. But if I let it dry while still taped to my table and use a blow dryer to fasten the process, it usually flattens out (not completely, but enough for me).

This makes me want to do some watercolor painting! Except, masking kind of confuses me :/ even in digital painting it confuses me. I don't understand what part you masked...the hair, or the skin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the example with the purple hair lady I masked everything around the hair, and the skin. Then painted the hair. Then unmasked the skin and painted the skin. :3
