Watercolor has arrived.
Create gum arabic watercolor formulas with adjustable pigment load, batch size, humectant, preservative, and container yield.
Pigments now change appearance depending on the selected medium—with sculpted oil-stick forms, glossy tube-paint dollops, and thin, fluid watercolor washes.
This update also improves recipe saving and medium-specific presentation throughout the studio.
