    Pale, thin and translucent. Only the flesh side can be used. A light dusting of sandarac powder is usually sufficient to prepare the surface for writing.

  2. Gum Sandarac

    Gum Sandarac

    Starting at: £8.60

    Gum Sandarac, derived from a coniferous tree, is available in powdered or lump form. It can be dissolved in alcohol to create a varnish that is suitable as an isolating layer in oil painting and as a traditional top coat for egg tempera. It forms a brittle layer, so is only suitable for use on a rigid support. Another application is as a surface preparation for calligraphy; the ground gum can be dusted across a piece of prepared vellum or paper to create a resist, which shrinks ink strokes slightly, making them appear finer, with crisp edges.
