Step 1: Outline the letter with your masking

• 

Put masking fluid around the edges, and remember, a thicker mask never hurts!

Step 2: Paint your design

Now paint in watercolour blotches, however, you want! I’m going to do pink and blue – I love them solo but I also love them when they mix!

If you don’t’ know how to use liquid watercolours, wet on wet technique, etc., please check out my FREE watercolour course where I go into detail at www.showmeyourflorals.com.

If you accidentally get a little extra water, just dab it with a papertowel.

Step 3: Touch up the colours once the paint is dry

Step 4: Draw your florals

If you’re feeling a bit nervous drawing in your flowers, be sure to check out my playlist here, where I go over multiple flowers in detail. Depending on the “blobs” of beautiful paint, you can choose which type and direction to draw in your flowers (using your Micron pens).

Step 5: Remove the masking fluid!

As you can see, I may have used a bit too much water and my heat gun may have also helped spread over the edges of the masking fluid as well.

I’m going to go ahead and use my mono sand eraser to help take off as much as I can!

If you’re more of a perfectionist than I am, you can always use a black (or white) pen to outline the edges, and you can also always cut the letter out and place it on a new watercolour sheet – perfect for framing!
