| definition | In watercolor painting, white areas are usually depicted by preserving the white of the paper. Masking fluid is a rubbery fluid which can be painted on to the watercolor paper and once dry, can be painted over preventing water from seeping through on to the paper. Masking fluid can be removed with gentle rubbing and peeling once the paint is dry. |
| editorialNote | Chose to use 'masking' for the technique and 'maskingFluid' for the material; however, 'masking' does not necessarily imply the use of masking fluid |
