Low sunlight through the trees, early evenings, deep in the silent woods.
I have been trying to paint without the use of masking fluid. I have developed a deep hatred of the stuff, I messed up a couple of paintings when it stuck fast to the paper and ripped bits up, it is too heavy handed (or perhaps I am) I just don't like it, and it smells funny, perhaps it has gone off! I tried permanent masking fluid but again that felt clumsy and wrong so I am painting without, finding other methods to preserve light in paintings. Happily I think it is working so far.

This is a wonderful piece!
I feel the same about masking fluid - hate those hard edges
This is so moody. The autumn mistiness in the last light is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
It's gorgeous! I've been working on a very similar piece...miserably, I might add. This has inspired me to go at it again.
Thank you very much Viv and Richard, keep going Carol, you will get there.
I am trying to make some painting films, will post the first attempt up today,
This is so moody and wonderful, Sarah, and so inspirational--those textured trees.... I am new at watercolor and getting soft edges, and I messed up with masking fluid, immediately, so I hear you.
