Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Watercolor is a painting medium that is transparent, applied to a paper surface, and has a gum arabic binder. The French version may use honey, which is referred to as a "miel" binder. Soot ink (B) and gall ink (C) are both traditional ink mediums, while bistre (D) and sepia (E) are brown pigments often used in painting. However, neither bistre nor sepia typically use gum arabic or honey as a binder.
