Aquapasto - A translucent gel medium that reduces flow and thickens watercolours & gouache to give an impasto effect.

Blending Medium - Slows the drying of watercolours, allowing more time for blending. Extends working time even in hot climates.For maximum effect dilute with medium only. Can also be mixed with water.

Granulation Medium - This increases the granulation of colour, giving a mottled appearance to colours which usually give a smooth wash, or enhancing the effect of granulating colours.

Gum Arabic - A pale coloured solution that controls the spread of wet colour, reduces staining & slows drying. Also increases gloss & transparency. Dilute with water as required.

Iridescent Medium - This medium gives pearlescent or glitter effects to watercolours and is particularly effective when mixed with transparent colours especially over dark backgrounds. Mix with transparent watercolour or apply over a dried wash. Shake well before use.

Lifting Preparation - Allows dry colour washes, including staining colours, to be easily lifted from paper with a wet brush or rag. Apply directly to paper and allow to dry before painting. It is recommended to coat the whole surface before commencing painting.

Ox Gall Liquid - A wetting agent used to improve flow when mixed directly with watercolours. It can also be used on very hard sized papers to reduce surface tension. Add 3-4 drops per cup of water.

Permanent Masking Medium - A non-removable, water repellant liquid wax designed for masking specific areas of paper, making them resistant to water. When dry, the medium will repel superimposed washes.Excellent for detail. Apply directly to the paper or tint with small amounts of watercolour. Allow to dry completely before overpainting.

Texture Medium - Contains fine particles that add fine texture and can be used to give the impression of depth and structure to watercolour paintings.Apply directly to paper or mix with watercolour. Shake well before use.
