Making your own watercolor paint is a fun, simple, and rewarding process, the first step is to make the binder which combines with your pigment to create a paint that will dry and stay on your paper without rubbing off.

⌛ ** NOTE: This binder is best if left to homogenize and settle down overnight - so be prepared to wait this time before actually using it to make your paint.**

🛒 SHOPPING LIST of ingredients and equipment I use: https://www.amazon.com/shop/jannahlyo...
(some items are optional and you can get any brand you want but I put them in this list just so you know what they are):
• 45g (45ml) Distilled Water
• 25g (≈ 3.5 level Tbs) 100% Pure Acacia Fiber / Gum Arabic Powder
• up to 10g (≈ 2tsp) Vegetable Glycerin
• up to 5g (≈ 1tsp) Honey (I used raw & unfiltered)
• 100% Pure Clove Oil (optional)

🍯 FEEL FREE TO REDUCE (or remove) THE GLYCERIN or HONEY FOR DIFFERENT PIGMENTS if they are turning out too glossy or sticky, you may have to experiment.

🔸 Tools & equipment you will need: https://jannahlyon.com/making-waterco...
