A high-quality masking marker for watercolor by Kuretake.

The masking marker allows you to temporarily protect, “cover” the paper with masking fluid so that the paper is not stained when painting with paint. It temporarily protects parts of the work (lines and larger areas) from water, paint, ink. It works best with watercolor paints.

Nothing can replace the white of the paper when it comes to accentuating reflections of light or other details in watercolor technique. Unfortunately, it is very time-consuming and much more difficult to avoid areas that cannot be painted over with a brush than it is to use a masking eraser. When using a masking marker, instead of dodging the details to be painted with a brush - you simply paint, and wipe off the masking fluid later, revealing the white of the paper. This allows for more room, the possibility of more dynamic work, more expressive brushstrokes.

ZIG Kuretake Masking Marker contains masking fluid/masking rubber in a light gray color. Thanks to the coloring of the liquid, we can see where it has been applied. The neutral color of the liquid does not hinder the work of composing a color palette while painting.

How to use:

- before use, mix the liquid by shaking the pen;

- then press the tip against the ground for a while to move the liquid in the mechanism. The liquid will fill the tip - it will be easy to see;

- apply the liquid to the paper carefully drawing/writing with the marker. The layer should not be too thin, so that the rubber is easy to pull off;

- after the masking fluid dries, you can paint with paints. Paper protected with masking fluid will not stain;

- after the paint and paper are thoroughly dry - the protective layer from the masking fluid is easy to wipe off (with a finger or eraser);

- after use, the tip should be removed from the marker and washed in warm water. If it is not possible to wash the tip immediately - remove it from the marker and place it in water until washing so that it does not dry out;

- the clean tip can be put back into the marker.
