Masking Fluid Trick

If you want to apply masking fluid to your drawing without any of the hassles related with brushes then take a look at this tip.
Masking Fluid Trick
With this applicator you can very accurately apply masking fluid to a drawing. Very thin lines an be applied as well a large areas. Obviously with large areas a brush is better. I have used this applicator for tiny delicate areas as well as for grasses and waves and foam and such like.

What an ingenious idea!
I'm amazed it doesn't disturb the paint. Can't wait to try this one.

Remember that 10% of excruciating excitement? Its about to hit! We have tropical storm Tomas apparently going to hit Grenada late tonight. Must batten the hatches and make preparations. Hope to be back on line soon.

:clap:Bravo Dennis...you have now solved a problem I've been scratching my head over ever since I started mucking about with w/c! This last video really brought it together for me. I think you may just make an artiste of me despite myself!

YaY
I love it when a "plan comes together"
By the way, if you use the transparent Magic Mending Tape it is much easier to see where you are cutting. Just be careful not to cut right through the paper - very easy to do. Use just enough pressure to cut through the tape. use a new sharp blade.
ALWAYS remember to burnish the tape on the painting side flush with the paper to prevent paint seeping underneath.
