Masking fluid
Masking fluid is a special product used by artists to temporarily protect specific areas of a canvas from paint. It is most often used in watercolor, but can also be useful when working with acrylic and gouache paints. When applied, masking fluid creates a barrier that prevents color from blending in areas where light or detail must be preserved. The "Masking Fluid" category offers a variety of types and volumes of product, popular among both beginner and professional artists.

How to choose masking fluid for watercolor and other techniques – tips from ArtDom
When choosing a masking fluid, it's important to consider the type of paint and technique you plan to use. Water-based masking fluids are typically chosen for watercolors, as they are easily washed off and don't damage the paper. Artists using acrylics may prefer a more durable alcohol-based masking fluid, which doesn't dissolve under paint.
Additionally, it's important to consider the surface being treated and ease of application. If you plan to work on small details or spot areas, we recommend choosing products with a thin applicator. For larger areas, containers that allow for brush application are better.
Masking fluid can be used not only to preserve white areas but also to create light effects and textures, expanding creative possibilities. artdom.com.ua offers options for various tasks and skill levels, allowing you to find the right product for your artistic needs.
