Last month I discussed the use of masking fluid to preserve tiny white highlights in a watercolor painting. Remember, a transparent watercolorist prefers to leave the white areas unpainted rather than using white paint (which is opaque). 

I thought it was time to make a video.

I've been working on large pieces and a commission, so I decided to paint a small piece for my own sanity.

I chose this female House Finch, then decided to use my negative painting technique to depict the budding branches.

And then I decided to record my process and share it with you! Sit back and watch me paint in this short video:

Thank you for watching!
