Pébéo Drawing Gum – Removable Liquid Masking Fluid for Watercolour

Protect the white areas of your artwork with Pébéo Drawing Gum, a removable liquid masking fluid designed for watercolour painting, airbrushing, and other artistic techniques that require precise control. This grey liquid frisket allows you to preserve highlights, fine details, and untouched areas of paper while applying paint around them.

Easy to apply and remove, Pébéo Drawing Gum is an essential tool for watercolour artists, illustrators, and mixed media enthusiasts who want to achieve crisp edges, intricate details, and clean white spaces in their artwork.

Features & Benefits

• Preserves White Areas: Masks selected areas of paper to protect them from watercolour paint and other compatible media.

• Waterproof When Dry: Dries to form a protective barrier that helps prevent paint from reaching the masked surface.

• Removable Liquid Mask: Once dry, the masking fluid can be removed to reveal the original paper underneath.

• Ideal for Fine Details: Perfect for preserving delicate highlights, thin lines, intricate patterns, and small areas of white paper.

• Versatile Applications: Suitable for watercolour painting, airbrushing, illustration, and other techniques that benefit from controlled masking.

• Grey Colour for Visibility: Makes it easier to see where the masking fluid has been applied.

How to Use Pébéo Drawing Gum

1. Apply the masking fluid: Use a dedicated brush, colour shaper, Incredible Nib, or cotton bud to apply Drawing Gum to the areas you want to protect. Avoid using your best brushes, as masking fluid can be difficult to remove from bristles.

2. Allow it to dry: Let the liquid mask dry completely before applying paint over or around the protected areas.

3. Paint your artwork: Apply watercolour or other compatible media as desired, allowing the paint to dry before removing the mask.

4. Remove the masking fluid: Gently rub the dried film away with a clean finger, a rubber cement pick-up, or a suitable soft eraser to reveal the preserved paper beneath.

Important Tips for Best Results

• Always allow Drawing Gum to dry before painting over it.

• Avoid leaving the masking fluid on your artwork for longer than necessary. Remove it as soon as your painting is sufficiently dry and ready for masking removal.

• Test the product on a sample of your paper or intended surface before use, especially with unfamiliar or delicate papers.

• Use dedicated application tools and clean them promptly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• Remove the dried film gently to avoid damaging the paper surface.
