Product Information

However, the masking fluid does produce fairly hard edges to the white shapes, so if you are looking for softer edges, it might not be the technique you are looking for. Using a masking fluid pen will be similar to using a paintbrush to apply masking fluid, only you do not want to dip your pen/marker into soapy water to prevent it from gumming up. Instead, you can use a rag or paper towel to wipe off the nib or tip whenever it becomes gummed up. You may need to shake the marker or prime the nib before use but this will depend on the brand. Masking tape was torn into shapes in Skiing down into Les Carroz (above) to preserve the light in the snow on many of the chalet roofs. Don’t try to speed up the drying time of your art masking fluid using heat or sunlight. Masking fluid contains latex rubber and can cook easily when exposed to heat. If this happens it will become very difficult to remove at a later stage. TIP: Do not shake the bottle of masking fluid. This can create bubbles, that when applied to your substrate, can pop and create areas for the ink to penetrate. Additionally, shaking the fluid can cause the latex in the fluid to congeal in the bottle forming a “clump” of unusable frisket in the container. The Process

My work has been collected and exhibited extensively in Canada and internationally. I am also part of the Art Rentals and sales program of the Vancouver Art Gallery. The best method I have found for removing masking fluid is with a kneadable eraser (also called a putty rubber). These things are great because you can mold them to the shape you want for more precise erasing and they don’t leave any residue on the paper. Rub the edges of the dried masking with the eraser to start lifting off the mask then peel off with your fingers.Finding the best masking fluid for your watercolor art is important, and if you are a novice in watercolors, you might not know what to look for when purchasing a liquid masking fluid. There are various features to consider and below are a few you should look out for. When using a paintbrush to spread out masking fluid you can use masking fluid that comes in a jar, tube, tub, or applicator bottle. You can apply masking fluid from an applicator bottle straight onto the artwork and move it around with a brush or you could dip your brush into a tub and go from there.

The techniques give confidence and helps washes to be more dynamic and creative, allowing the watercolour medium to reveal areas of magic. If you are using masking fluid to cover a previously painted area you must make sure that you have allowed the paint to properly dry before applying liquid masking fluid. Liquid masking fluid is a specially formulated artist’s medium made with latex. If you want to protect small or large areas from watercolor when painting, then you should try using some masking fluid. Masking fluid is used to preserve white areas on paint, glass, and even porcelain. In this article, we will focus on discussing masking fluid in relation to its use with watercolor paints on paper. This is any kind of bottle with a nozzle at the tip for squeezing out the frisket. It sounds like a good idea for applying the liquid with precision but I have not had great experience with this method. I much prefer having one of the above tools which I feel gives me much more control.

Candle wax cannot be removed; the paint slides over the top and rests on the surface that isn’t waxed. 3. Ideal places to use candle wax for masking Do not try using the normal decorators tape, this will not provide the sharp edge you need. In model making we thin our paint a lot, the paint will leak under the tape edge and you’ll end up in a mess! You can also go behind him a little bit and paint behind those masked areas, bringing them out even more. To make it easier to clean, wet the brush and coat it with a little soap before using the masking fluid. Clean the brush straight away once you are done with water.

You can use an old brush to apply the fluid as it will ruina good one, however, I prefer to use a Colour Shaper angle chisel, No. 0, firm. This has a grey rubber pointed tip, looking rather like a brush. When finished, leave the masking fluid to dry on the Colour Shaper and then rub it off.
