| definition | The technique of preserving white paper areas in watercolor painting. Masking fluid (a rubbery liquid) is applied to paper and, once dry, can be painted over; when the paint dries, the fluid is removed by gentle rubbing and peeling, revealing the protected area beneath. |
| editorialNote | Chose to use 'masking' for the technique and 'masking fluid' for the material; however, 'masking' does not necessarily imply the use of masking fluid |
