{"product_id":"holbein-gum-arabic-paste","title":"Gum Arabic Paste","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatercolor doesn't have to stay flat. Holbein's Gum Arabic Paste transforms fluid pigments into workable texture, enabling dimensional effects typically reserved for oils and acrylics. Mix it directly with watercolor to build genuine impasto, raised brushstrokes that catch light and create physical depth on your paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paste increases paint viscosity while maintaining watercolor's essential transparency and rewetting properties. You can layer thick passages over traditional washes, add textural accents to specific areas, or work entirely in an impasto approach. Because it's formulated specifically for watercolor rather than adapted from other media, it integrates seamlessly without compromising color intensity or causing separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist-grade formulation ensures archival stability. The paste dries clear and won't yellow or crack over time, even in substantial applications. Use it to emphasize focal points with dimensional brushwork, create surface variety across a composition, or explore watercolor's sculptural potential. Works equally well for bold gestural marks or controlled textural details where you want paint to stand off the paper rather than sink into it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holbein","offers":[{"title":"15 ml \/ tube","offer_id":47973653217509,"sku":"97156","price":9.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s97156.jpg?v=1761685427","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/holbein-gum-arabic-paste","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
