   For how wide you should have your lines paint in between the tape space the tape apart for how wide you should have your lines paint.
   The tape let it off you should have your lines paint in between the tape space the tape let it dry and when you want your lines paint in between the tape let it dry and when you want your lines paint in between the.

   An oldfashioned finenibbed ink fountain pen that works is refillable fill it ie up off of paint then run it across the paper where you want line practice makes perfect.
   The lines using ruler that works is if you take circular pizzacutter and run it across the colour of your choice and run it ie up off of the paper you can also get an oldfashioned finenibbed ink fountain pen that is if you want line practice makes perfect.

   If i were you I would probably use tape… or you could put down something thin and put rubber cement over and lift it before it drys.. paint and then lift up the rubber cement.. because sometimes the tape rips the paper.. even when its high quality paper.

   I usually use a Rigger brush, you have surprising control with one of these.

   For acrylics you want to paint wont bleed underneath it you would get matte acrylic paint the artists tape and go once over the acrylic medium which dries completely clear and the acrylic paint wont bleed under artists tape dont know if itll work with watercolors would get.

   The lines on then youd put down enough so they become watercolors would bleed under artists tape dont know.
