About the Artist

- Welcome to my art blog! This is where I share my explorations and learning experiences in pastel, watercolor and oil painting. I have had this blog for about six or more years. I am currently entering many national and regional juried art shows. I have a website and sell my work from there as well. I started a group called Reno Tahoe Plein Air Painters a year ago and it has grown to about 40 active painters! Each year brings new challenges and exciting opportunities. I have made many friends among other art bloggers and enjoy visiting their blogs. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and click on the links to my website and the plein air painters to see more!

Hurrey! Carolyn! This pine tree so beautiful!!! Very realistic! How are you did so, with mask! Oh! I don't know what is it - mask. This is a aquarelle effect? Superb! If I did know synonyms of this words I would have written them to you!!! :-)
I feel that I look from the ground on it! Great job! ;-)
Thanks, Ti-Igra. Mask is a general term we use for anything that protects the paper by resisting liquid (layers of watercolor paint). It can be masking tape (cut up in pieces and then removed later), it can be wax rubbed on with a clear or white candle (this cannot be removed later) certain tapes like packaging tape (also can be removed later), and a rubber-cement art product by different names from the manufacturer. I use Grumbacher "Miskit" - a liquid friskit. It is removed later by pealing off or rubbing a special rubbery square thing over the paper which pulls up the friskit.
O! Thank you, Carolyn!!!
I understand now! Very interesting information!!! I never use mask! I know about liquid which prevents the colors stay on paper. Now I know the method that you use! Hey-ho! :-)
