In this video I will show you how I turned my Sennelier soft pastels into watercolor paint. The process is messy and takes some experimentation, but once you figure out your way it's a lot of fun and very rewarding! I have made quite a few colors since this video and they perform the same as my store bought tubes of paint.

I did this live on my Twitch channel. If you want to watch the full process video, check it out here:

My Binder:
9 parts gum arabic solution
1 part glycerin
1 part honey
1 part distilled water
2 drops ox gall
2 drops oil of clove.
I also added a couple drops of iridescent medium and granulating medium by Winsor and Newton.

I discovered that using this ratio and tweaking it to your preference you can make some nice paint!
