Masking Fluid

Masking fluid is an essential tool for watercolour painters — allowing you to preserve the white of the paper or protect areas of colour while you work freely around them.

At PaperStory, we stock a carefully selected range of masking fluids and masking accessories from trusted artists' brands.

• Coloured masking fluid — tinted so you can see exactly where it's been applied, making it easy to work around
• Colourless masking fluid — ideal where you need to see the paper tone beneath while masking
• Maskaway — a gentle, brush-friendly formula designed to be kinder to your brushes
• Masking brushes & tools — dedicated applicators to keep your good brushes safe from the latex

Tips for use: Always let masking fluid dry fully before painting over it, and remove it gently with a clean finger or rubber eraser once your washes are dry. Never use your best brushes — use an old brush or a silicone applicator.
