Hey @Karen26302715i7zp. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

 

Press the B key on the keyboard to quickly access the Adjustment Brush tool in the Masking workspace.

Check this to get started with Lightroom's masking: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/masking.html
