    This watercolor masking fluid is made by one of the most recognizable names in art supplies. It is reasonably priced yet does an excellent job of protecting the areas of your painting that you want to keep white or to which you want to add highlighting.

    This Winsor & Newton fluid has excellent liquidity, which makes it easy to apply. It usually is fully dry within about 10 minutes after application, making it possible to get back to painting quickly. If you’ll be removing the masking fluid, this product rubs easily away with a finger or an eraser.

    A small amount of this masking fluid goes a long way. If artists are careful to tighten the cap after each use, the product won’t dry up.

    Users love how easy this masking fluid is to apply and how long it lasts. However, critics say that this product sometimes has a strong odor.

    Things to Love
    • Quick-drying
    • Trustworthy protection
    • Easy to remove
    Things to Consider
    • Strong odor

    When it comes to art masking fluid watercolor artists have excellent reasons to be choosy. The wrong product may leave behind a residue or be too difficult to remove. This Grafix masking fluid comes in a two-ounce bottle and features high-quality latex to ensure easy application and removal.

    A made in the USA product, it’s easy to remove this fluid from any type of paper without ripping. Approximately 15 minutes are required for complete drying.

    Some artists try to speed up the drying process by using a heating tool, but this is not recommended for this product as it may cause the fluid to become permanently attached to the paper or leave discoloration behind.

    Artists praise the excellent consistency of this masking fluid, saying that it is ideal for use in a wide variety of pieces. Rare complaints about the product may relate to its tendency to turn slightly yellowish after considerable time without use. If you don’t plan to use masking fluid often, then this may not be the best option.

    Things to Love
    • Made with high-quality latex
    • Convenient removal
    • Good consistency
    Things to Consider
    • May turn yellow after months or years of non-use

    This masking fluid for watercolor painting has a slight yellow color that may not make it a good choice for some artists. Additionally, it has perhaps the strongest smell in this review, which may be a big detriment.

    With a thin, runny consistency, this masking fluid is great for making long lines or small dots. As long as you’re careful, it shouldn’t get out of control on the paper. The jar has a particularly narrow opening that allows in less air. That translates to less danger of drying out.

    You may see a small amount of paint bleed-through, but removal seems to be fairly easy. It applies best with a cotton ball, pen or old brush.

    Artists who praise this product say that it leaves no stains and is easy to rub away with an eraser. Nonetheless, some people are dissatisfied with this masking fluid’s inability to hold a straight edge.

    Things to Love
    • Thin consistency means good versatility
    • Applies easily
    • Rubs away with an eraser
    Things to Consider
    • Because it’s so runny, it may be hard to keep a straight line on the page
    • Strong odor

    With an economical price and consistent performance, this Daler-Rowney masking fluid is a great choice for students.
