I knew for this one that there was going to be a lot of white space I wanted left a clean white, considering I also knew there was going to be a large area of unpredictableness for her hair I went a little further to keep where I wanted paint free. I actually put the masking fluid on top of the cling film for the hard edge of her back, sealing it tight. I've had watercolour escaping to where I don't want it too often in the past.
Also masked out the flowers.
The dried result with everything still in place. I couldn't really take pictures of it still wet because of all the books I had sitting on top.
My leaf stamps without the doll's hair. I actually really like the result of having the Oak, Nettle and Horse Chestnut leaves on there. If I knew of a way to keep them from crumbling or changing colour it would be interesting to do a painting with real leaves in it.
The end result of the chaos the leaves caused. I've lifted up a little bit of the masking fluid here but still have more to go.
I need to get a new masking fluid, this one keeps damaging and staining my hot pressed watercolour paper and it's all hardened into a lump in the bottle. Its the 'Winsor & Newton Art Masking Fluid for Watercolour' and I've had it for about ten years now.
