Another WIP




'A Rainy Evening'
Watercolor on paper
16 x 12 in.

Hi, posting another WIP of my recent work. Hope you like it. I have used masking fluid (for the first time!) in this for the bus's headlights and their reflection. Masking fluid is a liquid solution used in watercolor painting to preserve the white of the paper in some areas while giving an even wash of color in a large portion of the paper.
Have a great weekend :)

  4. I really like the wet look of the street, and those headlights worked out well with the masking fluid. I think this is my favourite of the rainy scenes.
