€13.50
A water-soluble vegetable product extracted from the African acacia tree, gum arabic comes in pale, amber-coloured crystals. It is used in the preparation of watercolours, gouache, and adhesive.
It is diluted slowly with constant stirring in water. Inexpensive gum arabic from Senegal is often used in making gouache. For high quality watercolours and gouache, gum arabic from Kordofan is preferred.
Gum arabic provides a reversible, glossy film but due to its fragility, glycerin is added. Used as a binding medium, gum arabic provides transparent, luminous colours.
