Natural binders

Linseed oil, appreciated for its siccativity, is the most used, as a grinding binder, to develop oil colors. It is also a necessary ingredient in the flour paint recipe.

Arabic gum is the binder traditionally used for watercolor. It is made from acacia and is the oldest of the gums. 

Casein (milk protein) is a natural fixative for limewash paints to which it provides matte and velvety. Used by artists from the Middle Ages, it is perfect for frescoes and icons. A little neglected over time, it returns to fashion especially in the decoration of painted furniture.

Glue of animal origin, it has a powerful tackiness and can be used in many ways (sealant, glue, coating, paint, etc). The rabbit skin glue is known for its properties of flexibility and finesse.
