Write a reviewI love this. Makes the watercolours shine. I tried it after reading about Samuel Palmer's use of it in his amazing watercolour paintings.
The gum arabic has a really pleasant smell and is the perfect accessory for rendering streams, ponds and lakes. However, it is horribly difficult and frustrating opening this type of bottle. After a few uses, it requires a lot of straight down pressure to get the small hinge in place for it to open. W&N, please, please change the design...
I have recently discovered the properties of using gum arabic with my watercolours. Give it a try and the results may surprise you too.
