Enhance Transparency, Boost Gloss Luster, and Master Fluid Washes in Your Watercolors! When working with water-based colors like watercolors and gouache, having control over sheen, transparency, and drying speed can elevate your painting techniques. The Winsor & Newton Gum Arabic is a traditional pale solution of natural gum used as a primary binder to increase the brilliance, transparency, and gloss of your paints. When mixed into your water color washes, it slows down the drying rate slightly to allow for smoother wet-in-wet blending, increases color depth, and prevents colors from looking flat or chalky once dry.
