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

Used pictures:
Violet hair: [link]
Colorful one with the bird: [link]
plant: [link]
Ariel: [link]

Collage of painting examples: [link]

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 β™₯

pressurized In reply to ??? [2012-03-02 01:18:23 +0000 UTC]

i love this tutorial ! i'm a bit confused on the masking fluid part. how do you un mask it? all the masking fluids i know are permanent.

Loonaki In reply to pressurized [2012-03-02 18:08:02 +0000 UTC]

You can just rub it off with a clean eraser, using very light pressure. :3

Soliels In reply to pressurized [2012-03-02 01:26:11 +0000 UTC]

Uhh, I know for a fact that there are some you can rub off with an eraser...Like liquid frisket, I think it was called? The only problem I've encountered with this is that the lower quality ones are still quite costly and they will peel off the paper with it. ;^;

muzuffle In reply to ??? [2012-03-02 01:08:51 +0000 UTC]

Sorry to bother you, but how do you 'unmask' stuff that's covered by masking fluid? I've never figured out how to do that

Loonaki In reply to muzuffle [2012-03-02 18:08:53 +0000 UTC]

You can rub the dried masking fluid off with a clean eraser, only using light pressure. :]

Wow, this is so informative! *o* Watercoloring has always been one of my weaknesses, but now that I've read this, I think that I just haven't been doing it right all along. Thanks so much for taking your time to do this. <3

There is a lot of artist in DA. But you are one of true artists because you know use watercolors and don't stay in digital painting! You're talented!

VolcomUSA In reply to ??? [2012-03-02 00:14:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have good news. The grammar was pretty-much flawless!

As is your technique. You are AMAZING!! Thanks you SO much for the incredible tutorial. +favorite..

and the "krepp".. I believe the english alternative is masking tape? It isn't very sticky, but is for the purpose of making sure that paint doesn't get on a certain area, usually used on walls.

This was so very helpful! I am usually not very confident with watercolors (acrylics is much more my thing ) but now I definitely want to crack out the ol' paints and apply some of these interesting techniques. The one about the salt blew me away!!!
Great job!!!
