Soak the Paper: Immerse the watercolor paper completely in a clean container filled with water. Allow the paper to soak for approximately 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes fully saturated. 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. Use Inkscape's layers for different elements. You can select one or multiple layers to cut/print specific elements instead of everything in the drawing. Glazing and Washes: Apply transparent glazes or subtle washes to create atmospheric effects or enhance specific areas. Glazing can add depth, richness, and luminosity to the painting. At this point, every model I build has some masks cut on my Silhouette Portrait. I have the original unit, which can only score 10 mil plastic. I understand the Portrait 3 can fully cut such plastic.

Painting Protection Cover,20M Pre Taped Masking Film Tape Roll Self Adhesive Floor Carpet Protection Film Sheet(20m×110cm) 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. Plan Ahead: Before applying frisket, plan your painting composition and identify the areas that require masking. This thoughtful approach helps you apply frisket strategically and achieve the desired effect.

Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always read and follow the instructions provided by the frisket manufacturer for safe usage, application, and removal. My idea being that for basic shapes (squares, circles, roundels, etc.) I could buy a sheet of white decal paper, cut it with my silhouette portrait and apply to the kit. Then put a second laser printed decal layer on top of it. It would be cheaper/easier than ALPS printing, and I could save the ALPS for the more intricate and complicated elements. Allow Drying Time: After applying frisket, allow it to dry completely before proceeding with the watercolor painting. This prevents the frisket from mixing with the wet paint and ensures clear separation between masked and painted areas. Color Harmony: Evaluate the color choices and their interaction within the painting. Determine if the colors work harmoniously and if they convey the desired mood and atmosphere. Adjustments can be made by adding glazes, softening edges, or intensifying certain areas to enhance the overall color harmony.

This can be beneficial when planning the artwork and making decisions regarding paint application. 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. Removing frisket can sometimes pose challenges. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting tips: Acetate or interfacing is sturdier than paper or cardboard.
