Gum arabic, which is the plant-based medium of virtually all watercolors, varies wildly in quality and consistency. After dozens of materials tests, some grades and species of gum arabic are totally unsuitable for watercolor. Some are merely acceptable. The best-quality gum arabic (which is used in Tonic) offers incredible transparency, flexibility, and handling. That's why Tonic Watercolor Medium is noticeably clearer than many of the other brands on the market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLIGHTFAST, MODERN PIGMENTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll Tonic colors are lightfast, with ratings of 7 or 8 on the eight-point Blue Wool Scale.
