Masking Fluid (Frisket) Do's and Dont's: L2

Fine lines of fluid can be drawn with a mapping pen. Drying time is quick. Washes can then be applied over the mask. When dry, rub off with a rubber putty or your finger to reveal the white paper preserved underneath.

Fluid applied with cut down brush. |

Fluid applied with Bamboo Pen. |

Fluid can be flicked off the bristles of a toothbrush. Care must be taken, do not load brush too much or you will get drips. I hold a scrap of paper under the brush while flicking fluid to catch any drips. Couldn't show this as I am holding the camera with my other hand.

The splatter technique is not 100% controllable like a brush.
Mask off the area before applying. This will protect the remaining parts of the painting. |
