Watercolor Binders and Gum Arabic
Gum arabic is the binder used in traditional watercolors and gouache. It really is a perfect binder for watercolor because it easily dissolves in water. If you add additional gum arabic to watercolor you can further control the spread of wet color, reduce staining and slow drying time. Dilute with water as required.
