  • Blending Medium 03/28/23 $21.50 Out of Stock

    Blending Medium for watercolour is an often-overlooked medium that will slow the drying process, making it possible to blend watercolours for longer; water alone dries much more quickly. This medium allows you to create a graded wash with a near seamless transition as the colours change from one to another, or the colour is thinned out from full strength to a light wash.

  • Jacquard Gum Arabic Powder 02/11/22 $4.40 - $8.40

    Use as a binder medium, emulsifier and film former. Combine with pigments such as Pearl-Ex and water to make transparent water colors. It will produce a glossy, easy brushing or stamping solution and is easily mixed and cleaned up with water. Prepared solutions can be stored for convenience.

  • Dr Martin's Frisket Mask Liquid 05/29/15 $19.95

    These liquids work great for masking off areas and will seal well on most surfaces. The Level 1 formula peels off clean without tearing paper. Level 2 is a thinner liquid that features a soft grip, and produces an easy-lift peel so the mask will come off in one piece without crumbling. AP approved non-toxic and conforms to ASTM Standard D-4236.
