In Flight
This is the finished watercolor of the pelican.
Here it is with the masking fluid on it. It coats the painted part and allows for the wet, loose background to be painted freely. Once it was dry, I wet the background with clear water.
Here it is with the wet paint washed across it. I sprinkled some salt on a couple of areas. The salt soaks up the pigment, and leaves some interesting little sparkles in the wash. Once dry, the masking fluid rolls off, a lot like rubber cement. I will mat it, and it will be at the gallery. It is for sale, $150. It is 21 x 13.
