In reply to David Goddard. Hi David, I would caution against using masking fluid over finished areas. There is a chance that the masking fluid will pull up the pigment or damage the paper.

Matt and Ashley,

Can the masking medium be used on an area that has already been painted without damaging it? David

Hello Matt,

Still working on Fran Stan the oragutan. Was rewatching the stump as it is all I have left to finish.

I just realized I have the same hair dryer!! Lol Does that say something about my age?

Hello Matt and Ashley,
I’m about to start the orangutan painting. Getting ready to trace it I tried a “masking fluid marker” which also says “drawing gum” on the marker’s barril, on a small area of scrap arches watercolor 140 lb paper (masking fluid mentioned on lesson 2) Well, I could not remove it from the arches paper for the life of me. I tried removing it by scratching it off with my nails, toothpick, kneaded eraser, and rubber eraser with no success. Damaged the little area after I scratched really hard to remove it.
I’ve TRIED it before on bristol smooth paper where it was easy to just lift it and pull it off…with some tiny, barely noticeable spots of paper coming off. So per my personal experience, it doesn’t work on watercolor paper at all.
I will make a run to the store to get the orange flisket you’re using to hopefully catch up with orangutan painting by next live session!
