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.

This topic was suggested by Jean Ann, so if you have something you would like me to explore, please let me know....
If you enjoyed this please like and subscribe. I try to share a short tip every Sunday at 2pm. If you hit the notification bell, you will be alerted when the next one is available.

Your account really needs to carry a bank balance warning: I had seen the title of this video previously, but didn't watch as I didn't want to be tempted into spending more, but as I walked around a charity shop this morning I saw an old technical drawing set with one of these in. After an inner battle I bought it! I now need to figure out how to use all of the technical drawing set to get my monies worth! Off to have some fun! Thanks for all the inspiration, even if it can be painful at times!

I rub a soft wax on the external areas before loading the pen, no need to dab it or anything. Obviously the wax will now resist the ink and direct it to between the prongs.The wax also helps against rust.

I believe they use something similar for calligraphy as well!?! Thank you very much! I enjoy your videos and listening to your lovely voice!😍

For school I had a Staedtler compass set in a nice blue box with a little plastic tubular bottle for propelling pencil leads, an extension for BIG circles and this ... thing ... that plugged into one of the folding arms or the supplied handle. Brought up in the pre ballpoint pen era where we had pen nibs and ink wells on your desk at school I gathered it may have had "something to do with ink" 🤔😆 but wasn't used for "DG" (Descriptive Geometry) and Technical Drawing that I recall but now, 55+ years later, I've found a use for it (masking) plus it's in pristine condition! 👍 Kind of funny watching where you have to explain how to use the tip while it is quite obvious for us oldies whether we have used one or not. No drips, blotches, smudges or gouges here. 😀😇 When drawing lines in ink I do recall starting at one end and drawing to about 3/4's or so of the length then fading out before the end then coming back starting from the opposite end to complete the line. Probably for accuracy? This method is probably not used or even required these days as carefully drawing a line in one stroke would be the norm. Odd I remember a lot this from so long ago but I found this interesting and certainly helpful in surfboard restoration for example. Will be able to get finer lines rather than just using the tip of the bottle. Thank you 😍

I love my ruling pen and have used it for years for masking fluid and paint. You can use a dip pen with watercolor if you load the nib with a paintbrush and paint. You can make some beautiful fine lines as well., Thanks for sharing the tip with a ruler. I wondered why I sometimes get a funky line. I will use my ruler with a cork backing in the future.

You are hands down the RU-vidr I click on for anything watercolor related that I want to demystify! 👏👏👏 Great job yet again! Question: Have you ever used a camera lucida for drawing/tracing and if so, do you have any tips? I've been using the Camera Lucida iphone app by Peter Moeykens with a cheap Osmo attachment on my ipad. Peter continues to put a lot of love into it for like 12 years or something! I like the app/Osmo combo over a traditional one because I can sit normally instead of standing hunched directly over my writing surface.
@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt Год назад
thank you. That’s a very kind thing to say. To be honest I downloaded camera Lucida about 5 years ago and never used it. I love drawing freehand. If I need a drawing aid, particularly for portraits, I tend to use a light pad. So sorry, no tips from me.

you are right, pigment pens have largely taken over, a ruling pen predated their invention by a long way. Now some people simply enjoy retro tools. some want to avoid disposable pens. personal choice….

I think this is something you leave at the last case scenario I mean it seems to make painting more complicated than it needs to be you got to like measure everything you got to clean you got to turn it sideways it's just way too much and from the looks of it it doesn't It looks like it just works for a brief moment at a time so you're probably going to take a very long time inking something with this or painting.

Why not just use a dip pen?
@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt Год назад
because you can adjust the width of the line, and it ‘s designed to give a very consistent width. Of course you can use a dip pen if you prefer, but on the whole they give a less precise mark. it all depends on the outcome you are after.
