Hi Linda
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial đŸ™‚
Yes, the color can vary between brands… each manufacturer may have a different source of pigment and manufacturing process, which alters they color slightly.
Cheers!

My burnt umber looks quite cloudy compared to yours. Do they vary in color from brand to brand or deteriorate with age or both? Some of mine our quite old, but most have held up well over the years.

Hi Pamela
Thanks! I agree… natural drying time is better.
Actually for this painting I put the masking fluid on a bit thick (so I got impatient!).
Also, this was done on student grade paper. And although you don’t see it in the demo, the masking tends to tear the wood pulp paper when you lift the masking off!
Just something to look out for…

It takes a bit more patience, but it’s safer to allow the fluid to dry naturally.

Thanks for the lesson!
