Lawrence Gum Arabic Powder is the pulverised version of lump gum arabic, the natural gum formed from the sap of the acacia tree. It is used in painting as a dilutant and medium for watercolour and gouache, increasing their strength, shine, and transparency. Printmakers will use the gum arabic in solution form for lithography processing and making sugarlift for etching.
Lawrence Gum Arabic Powder is easily mixed with distilled water, you can use tap water, but regional variations may alter the results slightly. Once mixed keep refrigerated.
