Daler-Rowney Art Masking Fluid is used to create striking white highlights or to mask areas for overpainting at a later stage. It forms a fast-drying, water-resistant film on watercolor paper and board, easily removable by rubbing with an eraser, soft tissue, or cotton ball when dry. An old brush, pen or cotton ball should be used to apply Art Masking Fluid, as it is extremely difficult to remove from brushes when dry. When you want the freedom to apply broad colour washes across your painting surface but do not want the colour wash to cover key details within a composition then Daler-Rowney Art Masking Fluid can help. Unlike Permanent Masking Medium, which is intermixable with water colours, you apply Art Masking Fluid directly on the paper. It can be applied to white paper or previously coloured areas, and it acts like skin over those areas you want to protect from the colour wash. Once you have finished applying the colour wash you can simply remove the Art Masking Fluid. Art Masking Fluid has a slight yellow tint making it easier to see where it has been used.

1. Shake the bottle before use.
2. Do not use on wet or damp paper.
3. Use old brushes or dip pens to avoid damaging valuable brushes.
4. Wash brushes in soapy water immediately after use.
5. Ensure fluid is dry before applying colour wash.
6. Do not leave fluid on paper for long periods of time.
7. If spilt by accident, wash item immediately in soapy water. Once dry, the latex can only be removed by picking at it or rubbing with an eraser. Unfortunately there are no solvents available.
