You might have a ruling pen lurking at the bottom of your art bag, or been told about how good they are for using with masking fluid, but perhaps you don't know what it is, how to use it or how to look after it. Join me and I will show you how to use it with ink for precise lines, with watercolour for crisp edges and with masking fluid for saving whites.

I show you a quick and simple painting which will teach you so much about using masking fluid with a mapping/ruling pen. I've done it very quickly, but you can take your time. If you want, why not share it over on Facebook? I run a really friendly group where we share ideas and tips, as well as our work:   / 694706731930461   You are welcome to join.
