Hostas is now up for auction. This is my first auction in about two weeks if not more. I hope you'll come to visit my auction and hopefully bid on this beautiful vivid piece.

Masking....hostas

Well this weekend I decided to conduct my first "experiment" in masking with watercolour paints. The painted look to the leaves of the Hosts provided the perfect opportunity. I'm very pleased with the results and may even list it. I'll be sure to post a link with this entry once I have.

Masking with watercolours can be a little tricky but I find the definition it allows the lighter colours by ensuring they are painted last is a bonus to me. You needn't worry about the darker and lighter washes overstepping their boundaries and for the most part the colour stays put.
