Some artists do use white gouache for example, but to get the purest whites and highest contrast you need to preserve the white of the paper.

Clean your brushes and applicators during and immediately after use to avoid clogging them up with dried liquid masking fluid.This is the main benefit of using art masking fluid, being able to create detailed shapes or images without you having to carefully paint around everything.

If you try to remove masking fluid while the paper is still wet it can ruin and smudge the painting or tear the paper. If you wait too long to remove the masking fluid once the artwork has dried it increases the likelihood that the paper will tear.
