Pebeo

Pebeo has made colour in Marseille since 1919. Its Extra Fine drawing gum is a masking fluid thin enough to run from a nib or a fine brush, which is what you want for masking fine highlights in watercolour.

What we stock

Pebeo Extra Fine drawing gum in a 45ml bottle and as a fine-nib masking marker, black gesso in 500ml for dark grounds, and Extra Fine charcoal fixative.

Masking fluid works best on fully dry paper and should come off within a day or two; left for weeks, it can bond to the fibres. See watercolour mediums, gesso and varnish and fixatives. Stationerie, Kolkata, shipped across India.
