Arches 100% cotton cold pressed

SAA Artists Blue Mask

Jackson's Art Masking Fluid

 

The masking fluid in applicators and PENS were:

 

Molotow masking liquid marker

Goya masking marker

Pebeo drawing gum pen

I found the Jacksons masking fluid to be rather thick, especially for applying with a dip pen. But was OK with a brush. It was tricky to see where it had been applied whilst wet and dry. The blue tinted Pebeo and SAA were easy to apply, see and rub off. Both also dried fast. 

 

Dried masking fluid was VERY tricky to peel off the handmade paper and tore. Also I had issues rubbing off masking fluid from the hot press Hahnemuhle paper 

 

Almost all the applicator pens were challenging to use as they did not flow well and many were very clogged up inside - so I likely wouldn't carry on using these as they’re unreliable.

DAY 2 Abstract - Winsor and Newton Paper with Pebeo masking fluid

This was a LOT OF FUN! The applicators I liked using best where the larger brush, paperclip, tooth brush and surprisingly the rolled up paper was really handy.

Here are some of my favourite projects from the 10 days. All of them were real gems and I loved creating them.
