Here is a sneak peak at the second in a series of watercolor paintings I'm working on, all with doilies. I don't use masking fluid when painting the negative space, because by the time I finish applying the sticky substance, I can already be done painting each little opening. Plus I like controlling where I apply more paint leaving darker edges to indicate shadow. See the finished artwork here.
