What is is the best type of masking fluid for water colours and what do you recommend for using as an applicator tool? Particularly for fine line and small areas.

Hi Nortomian! have a look at the Daniel Smith Masking Fluid and Applicator; this comes in a 30ml dispenser with about 5 fine appliator tips for very fine work.

Alternatively, have a look at the SAA Blue Masking Fluid; this is tinted so that you can see what you're doing with it. This can also be supplied with Applicator Brushes and Pen.

If you want more information, then come back to me.

Good luck and very best wishes,

Many thanks for the information Steve. I will follow that up and give it a try.
