Gum arabic (watercolor binder functions as a water-soluble glue made from Acacia tree sap). Powder on Amazon US
Gum arabic is the watercolor binder I recommend because it functions like a water-soluble glue that helps your DIY paint hold together and re-wet. If you’re mixing powders from charcoal, pigments, or even mica, a binder makes the biggest difference in how usable the paint feels. This is a convenient powder option if you’re in the US.
Pros
- +Classic watercolor binder for re-wettable DIY paint
- +Helps powders behave more like real watercolor
Cons
- -Requires mixing and a little experimentation for the right consistency
