The white pigment I use is DESIGNER'S GOUACHE - color - permanent white, which is an opaque version of watercolor. I use it instead of my regular watercolor whites which are too transparent for my style of painting.

Paper: ROUGH, 140lb, 100% cotton - watercolor paper

PART II

Most common questions I get and here are some answers:

♦︎9.CAN I REPLACE DESIGNERS GOUACHE PERMANENT WHITE WITH ACRYLIC WHITE PAINT?♥︎

I haven't tried mixing watercolor with any other media such as acrylics. From my experience acrylics dry super fast while with watercolor you can keep adding water and you can play with the painting as much as you want to. The white gouache I use is basically an opaque watercolor. It's called Designer's Gouache and the color is: Permanent white

♦︎10.HOW TO PROTECT MY WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS FROM FADING OVER TIME?♥︎

I use a wax for oil paintings, here's a video on how to do it    • How to Protect your Watercolor Painting  

♦︎11.HOW LONG DO I NORMALLY WAIT TO ADD A SECOND LAYER?♥︎

It depends but for the most part I don't wait for the layer to be completely dry before adding another one. When you see me moving to another section of the painting, that's because I'm waiting for the previous section (that seems too damp wet), to dry “just a little bit”. Once I feel the paper is not as wet anymore (not dump wet, just a little wet) I go back. When it's still slightly wet, it actually helps to add another layer, it helps watercolors to blend in nicely.

♦︎12.HOW DO I START A PAINTING?♥︎

If you are painting from a photograph try to think of all the colors you see, place them on your palette, sprinkle with water, prepare the brushes you will need. For example if you are painting trees, you may need an angular brush and a small round for branches? If it's sky, perhaps a fan brush? decide if it's wet on wet or wet on dry. If it's a night scene I'd recommend wet on dry and just add water to your watercolor, for example indigo. If it's night you will need more paint and it's much easier to use watercolor out of tubes.
If it's a day sky then you may want to do wet on wet, this way you create light layers by adding a little bit of watercolor diluted with a lot of water, and use paper towel to create clouds.

♦︎13.WHAT IS ART MASKING FLUID?♥︎

It's a fluid (also known as liquid frisket ) that preserves white areas, white areas of the paper where you want to stay white. It's made of some sort of latex. Once you place it on your watercolor paper, on the area you want to stay white, wait until it completely dries before starting to paint. At the end, once your paper is dry, you can peel it off easily with your fingers or using an eraser.
