Tips from Pebeo

Protect your brush by first dipping it in dishwasher detergent. Squeeze any excess detergent out with your fingers, then dip in, and apply Drawing Gum 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 with a Liquid Frisket Remover. For more information, visit Pebeo’s website.

Peel-Off Masking Fluid

Pebeo Drawing Gum is excellent for masking watercolor, gouache, ink, and even graphite! 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.

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