Gum Arabic
Gum Arabic is the binder for watercolour. It is also used as a medium to help keep diluted watercolours from sinking below absorbent surfaces. Gum Arabic gives a crisp appearance to watercolour edges. It increases transparency and gloss and controls spread when overpainting wet on wet. Any of our micas mixed with Gum Arabic can be applied to fabric, Lutradur,Tyvek, Evolon and, of course, paper! Gives a wonderful sparkly touch to porous surfaces.
