How to paint a lemon in watercolour using a wax resist with Nicola Blakemore

A resist is something which stops the paint adhering to the watercolour paper. This is perfect for painting the bumpy skin of something like a lemon. Gently rub over the surface of the area you are going to paint and when you do the paint will only stick to where the wax is NOT. Try it for painting tree bark and other things which want an uneven painted look.
