Stupid question but what is a frisket?

How dare you! That is not a stupid question, and you need to be nicer to yourself.

A frisket is a thin sheet of self adhesive masking film made out of plastic. It’s commonly used for airbrushing; but it’s also used for other 2D mediums, since it’s less likely to cause damage to the paper. I’ve seen it most often with illustration work.

It's like you're letting actual light in the painting! It's so impressive.

Small square footage but with that much natural light it won't be on the market long
