Frisket, in its simplest form, is a masking agent used to preserve specific areas of the painting surface while applying paint. It is typically made of a liquid latex compound that can be easily applied and removed. The composition of frisket enables it to form a protective barrier on the paper, allowing artists to paint freely around the masked areas and achieve sharp, well-defined edges. Final Highlights: Use a lighter value of paint or white gouache to add final highlights and bring attention to certain areas. This technique can create a sense of light and add sparkle to the artwork. Clean the airbrush surface. Ensure that there is no dirt or grime on the material you want to airbrush.

Applying Frisket on Wet Paint: Avoid applying frisket on wet or damp paint as it can cause smudging or bleeding. Make sure the paint is completely dry before applying frisket. If you're new to airbrushing, begin with a simple design. Draw or print an image that doesn't have too much detail to cut out. No Ade, it most definitely isn't just about Silhouettes, it just happens at present that members who have contributed to the forum have all been Silhouette users. So in fact, input from a Circuit user would be very welcome should you feel inclined. I searched for an area to post my link to Scale Model Masks here on BM but couldn't find any type of dedicated area but I've no doubt that advice exists randomly, unless you know further? Pressing Too Hard: When applying frisket, use a gentle touch. Applying excessive pressure can cause the frisket to seep into the paper fibers, making it challenging to remove and potentially leaving unwanted residue. Palette: Have a palette handy to mix and dilute the watercolor paint. Opt for a palette with wells or compartments to separate and organize the colors.

Frisket Film: Frisket film is a self-adhesive masking material that comes in sheets or rolls. It is often used for larger areas or when precise cutting is required. Artists can easily cut shapes or patterns out of the film and apply it to the painting surface. Frisket film is particularly useful when working on intricate designs or complex compositions.Use Appropriate Tools: Choose brushes, sponges, or other tools specifically designated for frisket application. Avoid using your best or expensive brushes as frisket can be difficult to remove completely.
