Pébéo Drawing Gum masking fluid and markers

Pébéo Drawing Gum temporarily masks areas of your work that you want to keep light. Paint with watercolour, ink or diluted gouache over the dry mask, then remove the film once the paint is also completely dry. Create highlights, fine lines or clearly reserved shapes within a washed background.

Choose one format for your work

• 45 ml bottle: liquid masking fluid applied with a brush or drawing pen, for larger shapes and free brushstrokes. This original formula contains natural latex.
• 0.7 mm marker: fine plastic nib for precise lines and small details, with a spare nib in the cap.
• 4 mm marker: round nib for broader lines and masking larger areas.

Each option is one item. You receive the selected bottle or marker; paint, paper and separate brushes or drawing pens are needed separately.

Mask, paint and reveal

Try a small area of the same paper first, including removing the mask. Let Drawing Gum dry completely before adding colour. Once the paint is completely dry, gently rub away the dry masking film with a finger or eraser. For fine lines and markers, remove the dry mask no later than one week after application.

Start markers and keep tools clean

Shake a marker firmly with its cap on, then press the nib several times on scrap paper to bring fluid to the tip. After use, store it horizontally with the cap closed. Gently remove dried residue from the nib. The removable plastic nib of the 0.7 mm marker can be cleaned with lukewarm water. Clean brushes or drawing pens used with the bottle in soapy water before the fluid dries.

Safe use

The 45 ml bottle contains natural latex and causes serious eye irritation; it may also irritate the respiratory tract. Work with good ventilation, avoid eye contact and use suitable eye protection as directed by the label. Follow each format’s own safety label. Wash your hands after use and keep the items out of children’s reach. Dispose of residues and packaging according to local rules.
