Base for the production of gouache paints 200ml - 50830

Base for easy production of your own gouache paints (for the layman - similar to tempera paints). It is designed for paste gouache paints and already contains everything important except the pigment itself (hence the name "ready to use").

Use: Shake before use. Spread a teaspoon of pigment on a glass plate or flat glass tile and stir in the appropriate amount of base. The base/binder ratio depends very much on the type of pigment (each has slightly different properties, weight,...). If you have no experience with the pigment, start with about 2 parts base to 1 part pigment. Mix thoroughly together, for example with a spatula or spoon. Depending on this mixture, add either pigment or base until the paint is the right consistency for use.

You can either use the paint straight away or store it in a closed container - preferably glass or metal. The paint and the base itself can be diluted with water, which is also used to wash the tools. The resulting colour can be washed off with water after drying. Of course, you can also use several pigments at once to achieve the original shade, in which case we recommend mixing even more thoroughly than when using only one pigment.

Main base ingredients: gum Arabic, dextrin, wetting agent
