Creating my own art for my abode is something that gives me the perfect excuse to experiment alongside dissimilar techniques together with today I am sharing my masking gum experiment, which also gave me an excuse to go out the art materials from the days of GCSE projection piece of work!

Whаt I Uѕеd:
Art Pареr
Mаѕkіng Fluіd
Chаlk Pаѕtеlѕ
Shаrріе/Pеnсіl/Fіnе Pаіntbruѕh

I’k going to live using this technique to create some more than subtle together with larger prints – I’thousand thinking graduated pastel backgrounds amongst flocks of birds made from the masking fluid – I’ll let yous know how it goes.  If yous’ve e’er fancied having an experiment alongside this technique, do try it – I used such a small-scale amount of the masking fluid, it’s going to terminal for many a DIY!
