Drawing Gum

Pebeo Drawing Gum is excellent for masking watercolor, gouache, and ink. Apply with a brush to areas of your painting you would like to keep white, and wait for the liquid to dry and become waterproof, about 30 seconds to five minutes depending on the thickness of the layer applied and the surface. Then paint over the masked areas and, once your painting has completely dried, peel off the Drawing Gum with your fingers or the Liquid Frisket Remover.

The Drawing Gum dries blue-gray, making it visible on paper. It is water-soluble when wet and dilutes and cleans with water.

Protect your brush by first dipping it in dishwasher detergent. Squeeze any excess detergent out with your fingers, then dip in Pebeo and apply to your paper. Finally, wash your brush in warm water within five minutes.

We recommend testing any masking fluid on a small area of paper to ensure in can be applied and removed smoothly. For more information, visit Pebeo’s website.
