Here's how it works:
* Application: You brush or apply it to the areas you want to protect.
* Drying: The fluid dries into a rubbery film that resists paint.
* Painting: You then paint over the masked areas.
* Removal: Once the paint is dry, you can peel away the dried masking fluid to reveal the protected areas.
Masking fluid is used for various purposes in painting:
* Creating sharp edges: To get clean lines between painted areas.
* Protecting delicate areas: When painting around small details or intricate designs.
* Creating special effects: For example, by masking out portions of the painting to create a "negative" effect.
It comes in different consistencies (thick or thin) and can be found in art supply stores.
