Thanks so much for this great series!, it took me a lot longer than 10 days ..nearly two months, but I’ve really enjoyed it all and learned lots about using masking fluid.

I used Windsor and Newton fluid and after trying various methods of putting it on the paper my preferences are an old paintbrush, silicone tool and cotton bud. The others I struggled with, especially the dip pen which I just can’t get to hold enough fluid to work well. Do you use washing up liquid on the pen first?

day1: Tests

Day 2: abstract art - I used a thinner paper I like with gouache, it made the fluid easier to get off but I don’t really like painting on this with watercolour
