Dry pigments have little or no affinity for the surface onto which they are applied.
The addition of a binding material, such as oil or gum arabic, is required to unite the pigment to the painting surface. We sell dry pigments for artists who want to make their own paint, pastels or inks instead of using manufactured versions. To select the proper binder for the dry pigments, you should first decide what kind of medium you want to make. You would use oil for oil paints, gum arabic for watercolor or gouache, etc. Realistically, you should not expect to be able to make paints with the quality of those manufactured commercially.
