Sennelier Arabic Gum Crystals are a traditional, natural binder used to prepare custom gouache and watercolour mediums with complete control over consistency and performance. Supplied as pure, water soluble gum crystals, this classic material dissolves slowly to create a clear binding solution that forms a water reversible film once dry. Ideal for artists who prefer to prepare their own mediums from scratch, it allows precise adjustment depending on technique, pigment load, and desired flow. Dilution can be varied between 10 percent and 35 percent according to use, with extended shaking required to fully dissolve the crystals. A preservative should be added once prepared to ensure stability over time. Supplied in a 100 g container, this is a studio essential for traditional paint making and medium preparation.
