Description
Zieler Artists’ Masking Fluid temporarily masks areas of paper that you want to keep free from colour.
Using a brush simply apply it to highlights, fine lines, reflections, shapes and other details before painting. Once the masking fluid is completely dry, watercolour, gouache or water-based ink can be applied freely over and around the masked areas.
After the artwork has dried completely, gently remove the masking fluid to reveal the clean paper or underlying colour beneath.
The fluid is coloured blue making it easy to see where it has been applied and helping you identify the areas to remove when your artwork is complete.
