Paint Jars Paint jars used in the art of Ebru should be glass containers with tightly sealed lids. Glass material preserves the quality of the paints and minimizes air contact. However, storage conditions are also crucial. In low humidity environments, jars can remain open for a long time, whereas in high humidity regions, especially in countries like Germany, paints may begin to mold if jars are left open. Additionally, paint jars must be clean and hygienic. Dirty jars or those containing residues of different paints can alter the chemical composition of new paints. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the jars thoroughly after each use. The size of the jars is also important in terms of usability. Very small jars may tip over when a brush is dipped in, causing mess, while in very large jars, the paint may develop an unpleasant odor and deteriorate in consistency over time. For this reason, we have determined the ideal jar sizes. These jars, which increase work efficiency and provide practical use, are available in 50 ml, 105 ml, and 205 ml capacities. These sizes are the most suitable for both professionals and beginners. By using glass jars, you can safely store your paints for an extended period. Recommended Jar Sizes: 50 ml: Ideal for small projects or floral paints. 105 ml: Perfect for medium-scale works. 205 ml: Best suited for large projects and long-term use.

Karin Gum Arabic – 100 ml Gum Arabic is a natural gum obtained from the trunks of acacia trees. It is also known as acacia gum or Senegal gum. Since it is edible, it is used not only in art but also in the food industry as a regulator. Due to its water-soluble properties, it is commonly used as a binder in watercolor painting. Throughout history, painters have used this resin to bind their colors and enhance their gloss. Uses of Gum Arabic One of the most important features of Gum Arabic is that it is non-toxic. In the desert regions of Sudan, some tribes have survived by consuming this substance obtained from acacia trees. Because it is natural and non-toxic, it is ideal for use in the art field. In medieval painting, Gum Arabic was used in tempera painting techniques and gold leaf decoration. In ceramic art, it is used as a glazing aid before firing the ceramics in the kiln. Purpose and Application of Gum Arabic Gum Arabic is often sold separately as an auxiliary material and is used to increase the gloss and adhesion of watercolor paints. It is generally mixed in a ratio of 1 part Gum Arabic, 2 parts water, and 1 part paint. Some artists prefer to add Gum Arabic to the water in which they mix their paint rather than directly into the paint. It also increases the density and consistency of the watercolor, helping it dissolve better in water. In high-quality watercolor paints, there is usually enough Gum Arabic, so additional additives may not be necessary. However, excessive amounts of Gum Arabic can cause unnecessary gloss and lead to cracks when the paint dries. Gum Arabic is a versatile material and is also widely used in marbling art (Ebru).

Karin Hard Bristle Horsehair Bundle 350 gr Horse Tail Hair for Ebru Brushes Ebru art is a traditional Turkish art form in which patterns are created on the surface of water and then transferred onto paper. One of the most important tools used in this art is the Ebru brush. The hair used in the brush allows the paint to be applied onto the water surface in a controlled and balanced way. Traditionally, Ebru brushes are made using horse tail hair. Horsehair is resistant to water and flexible in structure, allowing the paint to spread evenly across the water surface. Its natural structure enables the paint to drop onto the water gradually and in a controlled manner, which helps create cleaner and more balanced patterns. During the making of an Ebru brush, horse tail hairs are carefully selected, cleaned, and gathered into bundles. They are then wrapped and fixed onto the brush handle. The correct density of hair and the quality of the material ensure that the brush holds the paint properly and releases it onto the water in the right amount. This product consists of natural horse tail hair used for making Ebru brushes (350 g). It is a high-quality material preferred by both traditional Ebru artists and beginners.
