Mediums/binders for watercolor

This medium is for the preparation of watercolour paper so that already dreid colour can be removed afterwards, so a watercolour painting can be modified or corrected. Especially usefull for staining watercolours, which are hard to remove, marked with the triangle symbol. The medium has to be applied before the colour application, as it isolates the paper. Using very soft, textured paper types like e.g. rag paper, the medium has to be applied purely. For stronger sized papers the medium should be thinned with water. Pre-tests are recommended. As the Lift-off Medium dries to a water-insoluble film, it must never be put into the pans. Please clean tools as soon as possible with water and soap.

This pump-spray creates granulation effects in non-granulating watercolours. Spray with the fine atomizer into the still wet watercolour areas to be treated. The pigments there will quickly flocculate. As only a few of the HORADAM® watercolour are originally granulating (marked with a "G" in the colour chart), this medium helps to create a granulation effect for all colours. For already granulating colours the effect will be intensified. Due to the fine atomizer also small areas within a painting can be treated.

This powder can be used in two ways: by applying it to the paper before painting, it will have a similar effect to masking fluid – the first layer should be painted immediately after applying the powder. The second method is to apply it by sprinkling it on a wet watercolor surface and then gently rubbing it in. In both cases, a pleasant, irregular rubbing effect will be achieved, as the powder has hydrophobic properties. Areas covered with the powder remain white, similar to masking fluid, revealing the texture of the paper. However, the covered areas can be easily erased with an eraser and then re-coated with watercolors.
