Pébéo Drawing Gum Pens provide a convenient, all-in-one way to apply masking fluid directly to paper without needing a separate brush. Designed for reserve techniques in watercolour, ink and gouache, the peelable Drawing Gum protects selected areas while colour is applied over and around them.
Choose between two tip sizes depending on the effect required. The 0.7mm tip is ideal for fine lines, delicate details and precise masked areas, while the 4mm round tip creates broader marks and is better suited to larger areas and more expressive applications. Pébéo confirms that both tip sizes are designed to give different levels of precision.
Apply the Drawing Gum to the areas you want to preserve, allow it to dry, then add colour over the surface. Once the paint is completely dry, gently rub away the Drawing Gum with a finger or eraser to reveal the protected paper beneath.
