Schmincke Coloured Liquid Frisket, 20 ml, for Watercolour Paper and Drawing Cardboard

Schmincke, a renowned German brand, has been producing the finest artists' colours since 1881, and their products are now available in over 60 countries worldwide. Their extensive range includes watercolours, acrylics, oil colours, pastels, gouache colours, and airbrush colours, catering to the diverse needs of artists.

The focus of this product description is the Liquid Frisket, a coloured drying, odourless masking liquid designed for use on watercolour paper, smooth drawing cardboard, and similar painting surfaces. This ammonia-free synthetic resin dispersion is water-miscible but dries quickly to a rubbery, water-insoluble film.

To apply the Liquid Frisket, users are advised to cover the areas of the painting that are not to be worked on using the dosing tip. After the Liquid Frisket has completely dried, which can take a few minutes to an hour depending on the layer thickness, artists can then paint over the masked areas using water-based colours such as watercolour or gouache. Once the colour layer has dried, the masking fluid can be removed by carefully rubbing it off with a dry, grease-free finger, ensuring not to peel it off.

It is important to note that the Liquid Frisket should not remain on the substrate for longer than 2 days and must be removed completely. Particularly soft, weakly sized papers with a pronounced texture, such as rag or torchon papers, are not recommended for use with this masking technique. After use, the product should be closed immediately, and the dispensing tip can be cleaned with a needle if necessary.

The Liquid Frisket is available in both neutral and blue-dyed versions, with the products coming in 25ml tubes and 100ml containers. The customer reviews for these products are generally positive, with average ratings ranging from 3.9 to 4.6 out of 5 stars across various sizes and colour options.
