Sennelier - Gouache Binding Medium

Gouache Binding Medium

Mix custom gouache colors that stay workable even after drying

Dry pigments become workable gouache when you add this binding medium to your custom color mixes. Sennelier formulates this binder specifically for water-soluble applications, creating that characteristic matte, opaque finish gouache painters expect. The medium maintains proper viscosity and suspension, keeping pigment particles evenly distributed rather than settling or separating during storage.

Mix your own colors from scratch using Sennelier's dry pigments, controlling saturation and tint strength precisely. This matters when matching specific hues or creating custom palettes that commercial tubes don't offer. The water-soluble formula stays reworkable after drying; activate dried paint with a wet brush to lift, blend, or adjust passages without disturbing underlying layers. Particularly valuable for illustrators and designers who need exact color control or work with rare historical pigments.

The medium binds pigment particles securely enough for permanent artwork while preserving gouache's essential working properties. Create paint batches sized to your actual needs rather than purchasing full tubes of colors you'll use sparingly.
