References

These photos will be a big help.  My favorite reference photo tends to be the Black & White as it helps me better see the values.  Also included are the Drawing and Masking guides which will help you prepare your masterpiece.  😊.  The stencil is the sheet of plastic I use to protect the paper when scrubbing/softening edges left by the masking fluid.

Prep. for the Painting Section

Before you can jump into the painting process, you'll need to get the drawing onto the watercolor paper and then apply masking to protect the whites of the paper.
In this section, I have videos that describe my process of Transferring the Drawing Guide onto the Watercolor Paper and also a video on how to apply Masking Fluid.
