  • / loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/u... There is a fully narrated 4 part tutorial for this on Patreon, so follow the link if you are interested.
    Today's demo is a simple loose watercolour painting showing a way to use masking fluid to help paint a classic Autumn Silver Birch forest scene inspired by a photo from Pixabay: pixabay.com/ph...
    At some point, most landscape painters paint something similar with the distinctive bark of the birch, this is my 1st attempt! It is suitable for beginners or intermediates. I used raw and burnt sienna, indigo and paynes grey, cadmium yellow and sap green, but please feel free to use whatever colours and brushes you like and are comfortable with if you try something similar. And always best to text your masking fluid on a scrap of the paper you will be using as some of the cheaper papers tear when you try to rub it off.
    My board is at an angle of about 45-60 degrees.
    Many thanks to my lovely Patrons in my Patreon for your support!

    Stunning. There are a lot of winter painting appearing on video right now. And of course, they're all very good. And then there's this, with is gorgeous bright, warm colours. Giving hope that summer hasn't quite been pushed right out of the year yet.
    The beautiful blurred backgrounds that you, and Karen Rice produce, are so deeply atmospheric, and almost prohibit the eye from latching onto anything but the main feature. I try and try to replicate these type of backgrounds, but have yet to achieve one convincing enough to keep it. I won't mention that my attempts resemble something the dog's stomach rejected.
    I haven't given up learning to walk again, (and that's had me in tears), so I won't give up trying this either. Even if I'm forced to use school exercise book paper my kids left lying around. (They're all grown up now. The youngest is 23). Still hanging on to hope that father Christmas hears my plea for good quality paper. (Not hinting, begging or anything like that. I'm too proud to do that.)
    Thank you again for bringing you talent and your mind to you tube. Never disappointed in your videos. TTFN.

    • @LoisDavidsonArt
      @LoisDavidsonArt  2 года назад +1

      I just use cheap masking tape from Ebay, and AMT Products art masking tape also from Ebay. If you are having trouble, it may be your paper, or try warming the tape (not fluid) with a hairdryer to release the glue more easily

    • @loneborgersen5940
      @loneborgersen5940 2 года назад

      ​@@LoisDavidsonArtThanks so much for your answer. I will look at ebay :-)! I use arches 300 g cotton. But all the masking tapes (cheap and expensive) seems to take off the paper. Therefore I have turned to Tesa Precision sensitive. It doesn't tear off the paper, and it is nice to work with, but it also doesnt cling as nicely to the paper as yours seem to do. You call it decorator's masking tape - maybe that is the clue. Mine is just Masking tape.
