This tutorial shows you how to use Lefranc Bourgeois nan-king coloured inks in combination with masking gum.

These intensely pigmented Chinese inks work beautifully on a dry or damp surface.

The masking gum allows you to create superb patterns and stylistic effects without worrying about spreading the inks.

After applying the ink, let it dry and rub with your finger to remove the masking gum and reveal your final design.
