Yes Michele your answer is right on. There is no need for masking fluid with oils for as Michele said you can put oils were you want. But also You can use White in oils there is no reason to preserve the white of the canvas.

Also you can use oils very much like Water color to produce transparent effects but with one exception. You can use thinner to remove areas right down to the white of the canvas.

This is a technique used by Bart Forbs and a few more illustrators who emulate this technique. But back to the question there is no need to mask off a area when you can ether paint over or wipe off any oil paint that gets were you don
