Thank you for this video! I'm new to India ink and have been looking for good ways to use with my handwriting and card making.

For masking fluid, dip your brush into shampoo or dish soap then remove most of the soap onto a paper towel. Then dip the brush into the masking fluid and apply the masking fluid to your painting. When finished, quickly rinse your brush and use soap again to clean it. You will be able to use this brush many times in the future.

This video is the start of something incredible. I have acylic inks n looking forward to using them AGAIN. PEOPLE just START NOW- with a scribble- dot- line- circle- START- it does get easier- no such thing as mistakes- everything you create will be unique- keep those so called mistakes- useful for later

When I use masking fluid, I reserve some brushes in different sizes for application but I wash the brush and once it’s just damp I apply soap to the brush, so when I wash the brush after application, the rubber comes away pretty easy.

I wish I had a teacher like you. Mine always made me bend over 😢

Wonderful array of techniques! I might like to use as a base for colored pencil and/or neocolor II

Just an idea re lifting wax. If you lay clean newsprint paper or similar over the waxed portion and the apply a very warm (not too hot!) laundry iron over the top, it will often draw the wax into the newsprint. Worth a try?

To use my rubber gum with a brush, I use a synthetic hair and dip my brush in dish soap. You only need to rinse your brushes after using it and Keep those brushes for this utility!

Hello
Great video and tutorial
I bought not one but two of those Martin’s ink sets and just found them all dried out…
Is there anyway to rejuvenate them… please…
I’m so excited to work with ink again
