It sounds wonderful to have a nice fire going, keeping things warm inside on a cold. damp evening.<BR/><BR/>I'm not an illustrator, per se, and I find your work to be quite interesting and different from the gallery system I am used to.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing, I'll definitely return.Aaron Paquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401418598802746504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1129640849174633522005-10-18T14:07:00.000+01:002005-10-18T14:07:00.000+01:00The person who invents the perfect masking fluid w...The person who invents the perfect masking fluid will be onto a Good Thing. The one I've found best (no yellowing, no tearing, no ranking ammonia smell) is Schminke - it also comes in a very small bottle, so you actually get to use it all up, instead of it all rubberising into a blob.<BR/><BR/>Gail - I took the pics - which may have been a bit foolhardy under the circs!

I used to use masking fluid, but it either marks the paper, tears the finish or doesn't block out completely.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480023031281581371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1129633707899657152005-10-18T12:08:00.000+01:002005-10-18T12:08:00.000+01:00Hi PG,Very interesting to see you do a large wash ...Hi PG,<BR/><BR/>Very interesting to see you do a large wash in one go without masking fluid. I've recently started doing this too because I just can't get masking fluid to paint on accurately enough no matter what I try. It is surprising how well you can stay 'in the lines' in a painting like this. Secret is mixing enough paint at the beginning. (the number of times I've run out of a colour 3/4 of the way through a big wash!<BR/><BR/>Lornalornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536365544252432239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1129628110272254642005-10-18T10:35:00.000+01:002005-10-18T10:35:00.000+01:00haha, things do creep in, don't they!
