What Is It?
Gum Arabic Powder is hardened acacia-tree sap that dissolves in water to create the liquid base used in watercolor and gouache paint.
What’s Included?
One package of Gum Arabic Powder with watercolor and gouache recipes printed inside the envelope.
Why You’ll Love It?
It lets you control the color strength and consistency of your own paint while working with a traditional, natural material. Properly prepared gum arabic helps dry pigment spread smoothly and remain attached to paper after the water evaporates.
How to Use It
First prepare the Gum Arabic Powder with water by following the recipe printed inside the envelope. To make watercolor or gouache, place a small amount of dry pigment on a palette, add the prepared gum arabic mixture a little at a time, and mix until the paint is smooth. Honey or glycerin may be added when called for by the enclosed recipe. The Natural Paint & Art Supplies Recipe Booklet provides additional recipes, and the Large Glass Pigment Muller helps disperse larger batches evenly.
