Hey friends! It has been several weeks since we did a watercolor blooms episode, but we are back! I am hoping that we can get back to our normal schedule and do these once a week. Today we are working with Masking Fluid. This is such a fun way to paint white flowers with a darker background. I hope you try this out! Thanks for watching as always!

About This Video

We are officially back with Watercolor Blooms, and this one felt like the perfect “first floral for 2026.” It’s been a few weeks since we filmed a Blooms episode, so in this video I’m easing back in with one of my favorite cozy techniques: masking fluid + a darker background to make those white petals pop. If you’ve ever wanted to paint white flowers without fighting your paint (or overworking your paper), this is such a fun way to do it. I walk you through how I like to prep my page (tape is your best friend), where I place masking fluid for petals and tiny highlights, and then how I build that moody wash around everything. The big takeaway: let the masking fluid do the “saving the whites” work, and focus your energy on a smooth, juicy background with soft blooms and color variation. Once everything is fully dry, peeling the masking is the most satisfying part—instant crisp flower shapes. I’m really hoping we can get back to doing these once a week, so tell me what kind of Blooms you want next.
