Absolutely the best masking fluid vid I've watched (and I've watched a few over the years). To soften the stark edges I sometimes just get a clean wet brush and use the paint already on the page to do the softening for me. It's very subtle but sometimes that's all you need. Anyway, many thanks ☺

Glad it was helpful! And yes softening the edges like that is a super idea

I use what’s called a ruling pen which is sort of like a calligraphy pen, but not quite. It’s ‘sucks’ up the fluid and disperses it on the paper and it’s adjustable so you can get thick/thin lines and it’s easy to clean because it’s metal and just wipe it off as it dries. They’re also super cheap for only about $5/$6 or so.

Fab demo. It answered all my questions about masking fluid (received some Winsor & Newton freebies from a recent supply top-up from Pullingers). It's mad that I've never used it before. Apparently it works well with high quality papers, which take a lot of abuse, as John Salminen demonstrates in his spectacular work (on Arches 300gsm cold press sheets). I so needed the tip about not shaking it as that's the first thing I normally think to do instinctively. Now I shall experiment! Thank you... you have a new subscriber 😁

Sorry but if its ripping the paper, you're using it wrong. Don't peel it off like cellotape in the direction it's going, you should be stretching it up in the opposite direction to the direction you're peeling, as it stretches it loses the adhesive qualities and peels off sharp and clean with no issue.

A glue residue eraser works better at removing it. It’s not the same as a regular eraser. It sticks to the masking fluid better and lifts it better and faster. I’ve also found that if you use that and lift it STRAIGHT UP off the page and NOT at an angle, you have less chances of it tearing your paper as well.

Michele Weber advises a ruling pen, and to my delight I had one. Dip pens also work well. Just put them in water immediately after use.

It does not need to be thick and you can dilute slightly to make it flow. grab a scrap of paper and do a few lines straight out of the bottle, slightly diluted, a bit more diluted. dry, paint and remove. See which gives the effect you want.

How masking fluid to be preserved?. Or does it get dried up keeping unused for a long time? Please guide!!.
@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt 2 года назад
it dries up after a time and once that happens there is nothing you can do. if it thickens you can dilute it, but once rubbery, throw it away. To slow this down, always put the lid back on tight. don’t shake the bottle. try storing it upside down so any skin is at the bottom, not the top.
@charliepea
@charliepea 2 месяца назад
I have a masking fluid bottle. I often use it, and never shake it, but it coagulates. And it gets worse if I add water to dilute it. Now I lost a lot of volume becuase they got lumpy. Why is that?
@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt 2 месяца назад
it just reacts with air and will coagulate with time… after 12 months of being open, longer if you are lucky, it will simply go off. nothing you can do about it, I’m afraid.

washing up liquid = dish soap. This protects your brushes from masking fluid

@LizChadertonArt Год назад
I’m not quite sure what you mean, but the bottle says causes serious eye irritation and may cause respiratory irritation, so I would not deliberately apply to skin.

Does it matter whether the paper is pulp or cotton?
@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt 12 дней назад
in general cotton is stronger than cellulose, but there are very soft cotton papers which will rip with masking fluid and excellent cellulose ones. So there isn’t one rule, I’m afraid
@michelletulumello661
@michelletulumello661 12 дней назад
@LizChadertonArt 😥 I have never been able to get it to work without damaging the paper. I tried it on hot press paul rubens and cellulose stillman and birn with equally disastrous results. Started thinking maybe it's the brand I'm using that's bad, and not the paper. I had Malatow masking fluid and just ordered Peebo, and we will see if that helps.

@LizChadertonArt
@LizChadertonArt 2 года назад
Yes! Cotton papers are stronger than cellulose, so less likely to rip. Soft absorbent papers make it more difficult to remove. I would always test a new paper to avoid nasty surprises.
