Description

This class is a relaxed exploration of using masking fluid within watercolor painting. Having a jar of masking fluid in your art box gives you options as once it’s dry it can be peeled off, revealing the untouched white paper underneath.

It’s a bit like magic!

There are 10 demos, starting with some warm ups that will build up your practical knowledge and patience. Followed by some really fun projects covering florals, patterns, landscapes and food.

If you are new to using masking fluid, unsuccessfully tried it in the past or seeking to find fun ways of incorporating it into your watercolor practice then this class will provide many effective tips. Think beyond the brush to achieve an array of different textures and effects using masking fluid.

You will consider:

which papers work best
the different drying stages we have to be mindful of
successful removal of masking fluid after it’s dried

For some of you, masking fluid could be a totally new medium and you want to find success. However in order to get to that stage, it's very important to undertake a few explorations with new tools before actually trying them out in a painting!

If you have any questions about the processes that you’ve seen in the class please feel free to reach out to me using the Discussions section.

Instructor's Courses

Hello I'm Ohn Mar a UK based artist, illustrator author with a long and varied 20 year career.

I am a great advocate of sketchbooks having filled over 30+, which each serving as a record of my creative journey as a self-taught watercolourist for the last 7 years. They have helped capture my explorations in texture, line and tone as I extend my knowledge with this medium. I also share process videos and sketchbook tours on my YouTube channel - please subscribe!

Filling my sketchbooks remains a constant in my life, and furthermore inspiring many folks to pick up a paintbrush. Oftentimes these sketch explorations provide the basis for classes here on Skillshare.

These days I'm is primarily known for my textural foodie images, which have now appeared on food branding and packaging projects for clients from the UK, US, Europe, and Australia, including Marks & Spencer, Tesco, World Market and many more I was honoured to have my foodie art used by UNICEF to raise awareness of childhood malnutrition in Myanmar.

Often my sketchbook work is applied to giftware or home decor. Other licensed products include greetings cards, fabric, calendars and party paper tableware.

Please follow my progress on Instagram. And and if you post any projects from my classes, use #ohnmarskillshare and I'll try to comment.

I also have one of the largest foodie illustration boards on Pinterest full of inspiration.

I hope my Skillshare classes will make you think about creativity in a fun context. That with every mark of every sketch will help along your creative journey and you will gain confidence. Some days there will be minor detours but ultimately we are all taking steps in the right direction if we choose to paint or create with joy. Here are a few things student have said about my classes:
