Watercolor Masking Fluid for Artists, 30ml

Watercolor painting often requires the use of masking fluid, which serves to protect certain areas from the paint. To use this product effectively, allow the applied gel to fully dry on the covered area, then gently wipe it off with your fingers or a cleaning brush.

Watercolor masking fluid is designed for direct application. The pen-like case allows for easy, controlled use directly on the painting surface, such as watercolor paper, smooth sketch boards, and similar mediums. Apply the fluid directly using the fine tip of the stippling pen to cover up any unwanted spots or areas.

When using a masking fluid pen, it's important to ensure that the areas coated with the liquid are completely dry before applying paint. The paint, whether it's watercolor or gouache, should only be applied after the masking fluid has had time to fully dry, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the applied layer.

One of the key benefits of using masking fluid is that it creates a protected area on the painting surface, preventing the color from penetrating. Once the masking fluid has dried, these areas are effectively shielded, allowing you to apply paint without affecting the underlying surface.

Masking fluid is primarily used to cover and protect specific areas of the painting that do not require paint application. Once you have finished using the product, be sure to switch it off immediately. If necessary, you can clean the nozzle with a needle to ensure it remains in good working condition.
