Introducing our Peach Sap Painting Glue Powder: A Vegan Alternative to Gelatin

Unlock the secrets of traditional Asian painting techniques with our Peach Sap Painting Glue Powder. For centuries, peach sap glue has been cherished in China, Japan, and Korea as a key ingredient for controlling bleeding or smearing effects on rice papers.

Our peach sap glue powder is derived from natural peach tree sap, carefully processed using traditional methods that ensure no harm to the trees. With its exceptional water solubility, this glue powder is incredibly easy to use. Simply add it to your sumi ink and watercolor mixtures to achieve precise control over bleeding and smearing effects on rice papers. Its clear transparency acts as a protective barrier, preserving the chroma and values of your ink or colors while they are diluted with peach glue water.

In addition to its application in Asian painting, our peach sap glue can also be incorporated into regular western watercolors when used on rice paper, preventing unwanted bleeding during the wet mounting process. As a vegan alternative to the glue typically found in the sizing of shu xuan paper, our peach sap glue can be used as a substitute for gelatin in alum-based sizing.

Each package contains 10g of peach sap glue powder, providing you with ample supply for your artistic endeavors.

Usage is simple:

Step 1: Dissolve the desired amount of powder into a small quantity of water, maintaining a 1:1 ratio to create a paste.

Step 2: Add nine times more water to the paste, forming the glue water. You can adjust the water amount to meet your specific needs.

Please note that while our peach sap glue powder is suitable for mixing pigment powders as an alternative to gelatin glue, it cannot be used as a mounting paste to replace flour paste.

Unlock the potential of traditional Asian painting techniques with our Peach Sap Painting Glue Powder. Embrace its vegan composition and explore the beauty of controlled bleeding and precise strokes in your artistic creations.
