I use Pēbēo with an adjustable ruling pen and remove the drawing gum with a rubber square glue residue eraser. The lines are perfect with the ruling pen and I can cover very small areas, create super-thin lines, or open the ruling pen and cover large areas and make thick lines. To remove the gum, I gently start the removal by rubbing the eraser over an edge of the drawing gym. Then, I take that little piece I've rubbed up and very gently, and slowly, pull it TOWARD me horizontally and parallel to the paper. I've never once torn my paper since using this method.
For masking fluid: you can get special masking fluid applicators, can use something called a ruling pen, or you can use silicone brushes/tools (often used for acrylics). Have a look on Jackson’s art ❤
If you keep rinsing the brush in a container of soapy water, and keep wiping off the brush, it helps. You still can't use a good brushes. And don't use the water container you normally use.
I use regular bar soap to coat the brush before using the masking fluid. Wet the brush and brush it on the bar soap as if I was going to clean it. I leave the brush coated with the soap and then go in the masking fluid. At the end the brush cleans up nicely ❤
Wow, found your video inspirational and what beautiful artwork. Thank you :) I use washing up liquid to dip my brush into before applying masking fluid and then as soon as finished rinse them out and the brush is fine and the gunk slides off.
Another beautiful piece, Lioba! I added wax crayons to my wish list to play around with, I've been interested in them for a while. Now I want to try them even more. :)
For details with masking fluid you can also use a nib pen and those smudge gummy tools, I don’t know their proper name but usually they’re used for sculpting, so you don’t even have to bother with soaping your brushes, toothpicks are also useful sometimes 😄
I'm sure other have pointed it out, but silicone tipped tool work best because you can just rub off the tried masking fluid. but if you need to uses it for details, if you dip your brush in soupy water all the way to the furrel (damp it off but don't rise the soup out), the masking fluid will come off easier and you can reshape the brush. That will still be a dedicated masking brush, but you'll have more control of the application.
I have found that when I use a fresh brush with Artist Masking fluid, that working some dishwashing soap into the bristles and not rinsing it before I apply the masking fluid, that it will protect the brush. Never let the masking fluid dry in a brush.
If edging tape is stuck too firmly to my paper, I just warm it in sections with a hand-held hair dryer or a heat gun. The tape peels off very easily then.
Hi Liboa. For masking fluid, wet a bar of soap and rub your paint brush in it to coat the bristles. Then you can use the masking fluid and it will just rinse right out of the bristles when you are finished with the masking fluid. I've been using the same brush for about 6 months without any issues.
For masking fluid you can use a pen brush with water reservoir. Pour some warm water in with a bit of soap and shake to mix soap with water inside. Lay masking fluid and when it starts to dry on bristles you can clean it by squeezing the brush until clean and then continue with more masking fluid.
To remove masking fluid from brushes, there’s a product called Zest-It Masking Fluid Remover, it works quite well (and smells like oranges). Also, dip pens work well for applying masking fluid, especially for small details. Thanks for showing your process, I love your art and videos ❤❤❤
For masking fluid I use a tool that looks like a ink pen. It is called a ruling pen. Easy to use, you can choose how large to make the tip that you dip into the masking fluid. Easy clean up. ☺️
Hello, O suggest to find some silicone paintbrushes which are for other uses other than art. Either that,, or change your masking fluid is my suggestion. I fond that pebeo masking fluid (a blue colour) comes off remarkably easy.

I use silicone brushes for the masking fluid like the ones used for clay. Or you can use a masking fluid applicator/bottle, the one with a thin nozzle. I think Jackson's sell them. I love this piece 😍 especially the element of metal against the natural background
I need to try this paper, even tho most times I do mixed media work its on canvas or wood since I tend to make holes or add things/feathers/rocks etc to something mixed media
To avoid your brush from damage due to use of musking fluid, you should rub the wet brush on any kind of soap preferably body soap and after using musking fluid wash the brush with plain water and see the result.
Use a sculpting brush for your masking fluid it has a rubber pointy tip that gives you the control of a normal brush but you can remove the dried masking fluid off it very easily 😘
Dip your brush in water then rub on a bar of soap, then dip in the masking fluid to put it on the paper. I haven't ruined one brush yet!! Keep it lubed with the soap till you are done. Then wash off!!
If your masking tape is too strong for the paper, tear a piece off and press it lightly to your jeans or another kind of cloth and then put it on the paper.
What works for me is to saturate a dry brush in dish soap really getting into the feruy, pat dryish to remove any bubbles, gently roll brush into dish soap again to avoid bubbles or foam and viola! Easy removal when you're done. I still use a cheap brush though.
for masking fluid try using silicone brushes made for polymer clay shaping...they're flexible and can get tiny details and are easy to clean after!

Your work is so beautiful! I’ve been wanting to get back into art and painting. My studio is almost set up:) thanks for always encouraging us:)
Another gorgeous painting! Thank you for sharing.
That was very fun to watch. I enjoy the mixture of tools, techniques, and styles. 👍
Your Water colours layering effect is super . Nice mixed midia too.

Another amazing work! Thank you so much for sharing.✨
I use a nail polish bottle to keep masking fluid and it's brush to apply
You can dampen your brush bristles with liquid dish soap before using it with the masking fluid so you can easily clean it afterwards
For details with masking fluid you can also use a nib pen and those smudge gummy tools, I don’t know their proper name but usually they’re used for sculpting, so you don’t even have to bother with soaping your brushes, toothpicks are also useful sometimes 😄
Thank you so much for the tip!
Nice tips Thank you Manuela M
I love using the caran d'ache crayons! And they blend better with acrylics than the oil pastels.
Q-tips for masking fluid, or cheap plastic-bristled kids' brushes. Not ideal, but keeps your good brushes out of the stinky, sticky masking fluid.
I'm sure other have pointed it out, but silicone tipped tool work best because you can just rub off the tried masking fluid. but if you need to uses it for details, if you dip your brush in soupy water all the way to the furrel (damp it off but don't rise the soup out), the masking fluid will come off easier and you can reshape the brush.

I was just looking through your videos for an explanation on your mixed media technique… 🙌🏼

danke fürs zeigen :) ein wenig seife an den Pinsel, bevor man in die Maskierflüssigkeit geht hilft, damit man es besser wieder auswaschen kann :)

Do you spray fix your pencil so it doesn’t mix with the watercolor?
I wonder if Q-tips/cotton buds would work with the masking fluid? Amazing painting by the way--I'm truly inspired by you Lioba!
Thank you so much!
I need to try this paper, even tho most times I do mixed media work its on canvas or wood since I tend to make holes or add things/feathers/rocks etc to something mixed media
I got scared at 10:53
You talking about the tape being too strong, and suddenly seeing the tape rip. I tought you ripped the paper apart :,)
Work you brush bristles in soap before using your masking fluid. After using, wash the bristles in soap and water.
To avoid your brush from damage due to use of musking fluid, you should rub the wet brush on any kind of soap preferably body soap and after using musking fluid wash the brush with plain water and see the result.

Joan would have never worn that sort of armour. Nice interpretation, though.
Of course not! ;)
