Painting Daisies Using Masking Fluid and Salt

In this class we will paint a beautiful meadow scene whilst learning how to use masking fluid and salt. 

We will put together some sketches to inform our final painting. In this class you can chose whether to paint the ox-eye daisies or choose your own meadow scene.  We will  apply the masking fluid to mask out some areas. We will use salt and sgraffito to create a subtle background texture.
