Frosty Trees – Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
This was an experiment in masking techniques. I used “Masking Film” in conjunction with a “Masquepen” both items can be found by following this link:

The different stages were either photographed or scanned and I’ve put them on flickr. These can be accessed here:

There will be other ways which will give the same results but this was just me playing around with different materials.

This is nice one Bob and thank you for sharing all the steps with us. As far as I’m concerned the result in step 3 was the most pleasing for my eyes.

Good of you to give me feedback, Ziza. Glad you like this. This was a sort of collaboration with John S and me.
