This binder is specially formulated to turn your dry mineral pigments into beautiful, luminous paint. Simply dissolve the solution in hot water to create a clear, high-quality medium perfect for traditional watercolours, gouache, or other water-based techniques.

Add it to your mineral colours (often called “Gem Stone Colours”) for vibrant, lightfast results with excellent transparency and sparkle. Ideal for artists who mix their own paints and want full control over consistency and flow.

How to use: Place a small amount of binder in a mortar, add hot water gradually while mixing until fully dissolved and smooth. Combine with your chosen mineral pigment powder and adjust to your preferred consistency. After use, leftovers can be settled and stored for later.

Clean, simple, and made for creating authentic, long-lasting mineral-based paints.
