Gamboge Powder
Starting at: £5.20
Gamboge is a natural tree resin, available as a powder and in the solid "pipe" form. It is highly transparent, fugitive to light, with a weak tinting strength. The powder can be dissolved in alcohol to colour resin-based varnishes. In its solid form, Pipe Gamboge does not require a binding agent to be used as a paint. Instead, colour can be lifted with a wet brush, as from a watercolour pan.
Larger quantities are available by request.

Gum Damar
Starting at: £7.50
Damar is a pale, almost colourless tree resin, which is soluble in turpentine, but not in alcohol or mineral spirits. It can be used as a varnish or as a glossy painting medium in conjunction with vegetable oils, and is generally preferable to other resin-based varnishes, such as mastic varnish, as it retains its colourless appearance for a longer period of time. In encaustic painting, the inclusion of damar resin imparts toughness and gloss to the paint surface. Learn More -
