In this workshop, we will explore multiple methods of reserving whites to create birch trees, including green painter’s tape, masking fluid, and paraffin wax. Participants will experiment with these techniques to achieve different textures and effects while discussing how colour choices can evoke seasonal changes. Additionally, we will cover how these masking techniques can be incorporated into larger, more complex compositions, allowing for greater depth and storytelling in watercolour painting.
