Why Is Masking Tape Useful in Watercolour?
Masking tape has a range of applications for art. It secures your paper and helps achieve clean edges and crisp borders when painting.
How Can Sponges Be Used?
Sponges lift water or pigment and can create texture. Choose between natural and synthetic depending on the effect you want.
What Kinds of Rubbers are Available?
A kneaded eraser lifts pencil marks without damaging the surface. They can remove underdrawings before or after watercolour painting (gently). Kneaded erasers can be shaped for precision. Learn more in ‘Choosing a Rubber: Comparing Erasers’.
