Күн бұрын

There are masses of tools for applying masking fluid, a ruling pen is just one of them. It is a versatile piece of equipment, so a very useful addition to your watercolour kit. It can produce various different thickness lines, can be easily cleaned and is comfortable to hold too. Here's how you use one to draw with.

Thank you Denise, it was just a doodle with some masking fluid more than a fully fledge painting, but good fun though.

Thank you for showing me that I bought a rolling pin a while ago and I've always been nervous to use it. You made this look so easy and now I can't wait to try it! Could you please do some more landscaping paintings I really love the way you explain things and I also like your style and I would like to see more please. Thanks again for this video I really appreciated it😊

Thank you very very much. Sadly landscapes isn't something that I tend to do much being a wildlife artist, but.....I will certainly add it to my list for you. 😀

Great video! ❤ It was my first time using masking fluid last week, and it's definitely a game changer for me. 😊 Instead of a ruling pen, can I use something like a glass pen?

@TheDevonArtist 2 ай бұрын

I can't see why not, it sounds like a good idea. The only difference is that you won't be able to load it as much with masking fluid. But I have also use a cocktail stick as well, so give it a go. 😀

Yeah would probably have to dip more often 🙁 that's what I experienced using a small cheap brush since I didn't want to ruin my other brushes. I'll go invest on a ruling pen soon, thank yo so much for this tip!

When you use this, do you have the opening on the paper or the bottom of the tip on the paper... like where should the opening of the tip be?

@TheDevonArtist 2 ай бұрын

Hi Ralph, I'm trying to understand what you mean. I do have the tip of the pen on the paper, and occasionally increase the pressure to allow more masking fluid through the nib. 😀

@ralphherrick596 2 ай бұрын

@@TheDevonArtist I have trouble with the mastic coming out of the pen.... thought maybe you need to hold the pen a special way for it to release the fluid...I hope that is clearer

@TheDevonArtist 2 ай бұрын

It certainly is clearer, thank you for explaining that Ralph. I sometimes use the pen sideways as well which can help to allow the masking fluid to flow. You just have to make sure the fluid is fresh in the pen, otherwise it won't flow. 😊@ralphherrick596
