Liquitex Professional Masking Fluid, 4 oz (118 mL)

Control your composition with precision using Professional Masking Fluid. This removable liquid latex barrier protects designated areas of your surface from paint, ink, or other media, allowing for clean edges and crisp highlights when removed. Suitable for use on paper, board, and primed canvas, it applies easily with a brush or tool and dries quickly to a flexible film. Once paint is fully dry, the masking fluid peels away cleanly without damaging the surface. Perfect for artists working in acrylic, watercolor, ink, or mixed media, it enables detailed layering, resist techniques, and precise control in complex compositions.

• Preserves White or Light Areas: Essential for maintaining highlights and intricate details, especially in watercolor paintings where the white of the paper serves as the lightest value.
• Enables Complex Layering: Allows artists to apply broad washes or multiple layers of color without affecting protected areas, facilitating techniques like glazing and negative painting.
• Easy Application and Removal: Can be applied using various tools such as brushes, dip pens, or fine applicator tips. Once dry, it forms a rubbery film that can be peeled or rubbed off without damaging the underlying surface.
• Versatile Across Mediums: While commonly used with watercolors, masking fluid is also compatible with acrylics and inks, making it a versatile tool for mixed-media artists.
• Fast-drying and flexible: Forms a resilient film that’s easy to apply and remove without tearing or residue.
• Trusted Liquitex quality: Made by Liquitex, experts in fine art materials for students and professionals.
