Masking fluid or drawing gum comes either clear or colored. There are pros and cons to both. The masking I use is Pebeo. It's fairly fluid. I like it because of its tint since it shows up better than something clear. I prefer applying it with a brush. However, You need to pretreat your brush with a solution of water, a little dish soap and a little ammonia, otherwise you will gum up and ruin your brush. Hope this helps!
What a nice way to start April...
Great technique! Such strong colors for watercolor.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just came back from the nursery with a lavender plant. Will cut some and start painting. Thanks for the inspiration!
You're so welcome Judy! Happy spring!
Very nice. Inspiring. I love pen and ink and watercolor. I think I will try my hand at painting a glass jar with flowers from my back yard!
