Traditional Natural Animal Gelatin 三千本胶
$17.48 (USD)
Gelatin is the most famous sizing agent in history. It is not ‘acid free’ but it still lasts forever. This gelatin is a classic gelatin extracted from animal skin. It is also referred to as San Qiang Ben Jiao 三千本胶 in Chinese. This gelatin is mixed with impurity substances such as fat. However, thanks to these impurities, this type of traditional gelatin is stable, resistant to water, and flexible. It is perfect in terms of transparency and stickiness.
It is widely used for layering colours in paintings. There is a very nice discussion on gelatin @INKSTON Art Forum.
This product is gelatin handmade in Japan. INKSTON has been trying different gelatin in market and finally fell in love with is Japanese piece. It is very fine, although the price is slightly higher than gelatin produced in China.
Usage: use 10 times more water to dilute the gelatin you need. For example, if you cut off 2g gelatin, then you need 20g water to dilute it.
Making Alum Gelatin Water: a basic formula is that 4g gelatin, 200cc water, and 1.3g alum. According to Chieh Tsu Yuan Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden, for different seasons the proportion of the formula is different.
- In summer, 60% gelatin to 40% alum;
- In autumn, 80% gelatin to 20% alum;
- In winter, 70% gelatin to 30% alum.
Purpose: it is perfect to process natural colour chips.
Storage: once it is diluted, it is better to keep it in fridge because the product is made with natural animal skins and can get bad easily.

Magical…I was born in 1976 the year of the Fire Dragon. The packaging is amazing. I have not use them so judging solely on aesthetics, amazing. And no it not a photoshopped fire or a reflection of fire. The dragons appear to be on fire in every photo I took…love it..,

I love the rich colours of this ink stick. My old ink stone was not worthy of this beautiful smooth ink stick but I couldn’t wait until my new stone arrived before I tried it. I expect it will be even better with my new ink-stone that just arrived.

Son un poco duras y cuesta deshacerlas y apenas cubren de color. Son muy bonitas y bien presentadas en su caja. -

good product and well packaged. -
Recien recibo de parte de AMAZON este precioso estuche que comercializa INKSTON. Se trata de 12 barras de pigmento para diluir con la piedra inkstone. Pigmentos de calidad superior y rendimiento tambien superior.
En mi caso para utilizar como acuarela ( compongo mis propias paletas de colores a partir de este material).
A destacar que el fabricante de este producto es Old Hu Kai Wen, es decir, el primer y mas pretigioso productor de barras de tinta y pigmentos de China. La distribuidora para el mundo entero INKSTON realiza una gran labor al ofrecer a través de su web propia y de AMAZON el amplio surtido de productos de Old Hu Kai Wen y otros de reconocido prestigio.
Agradecido a ambos, a Amazon y a INKSTON por poner a nuestro alcance tan precioso y preciado material de bellas artes.
Volviendo al estuche de las doce barras; cada una mide unos 7,5 cm y pesa unos 30 gr.
Hay seis tonos cálidos ( amarillo-naranja-ocre-marrón- beige y tierra tostada)
Tres tonos de color verde. Un violeta. Un azul y una barra de blanco.
Estoy realizando mezclas entre ellas y la variedad es infinita.
Excelente producto a un precio imbatible.
Gracias. ¡ -
Pongo 5 estrellas pero el producto merece muchas más.
Las doce barras de colores minerales, son de una calidad extraordinaria. La presentación de lujo. Con esa base de madera realizada a la medida. Insuperable.
En estos momentos he podido probar cuatro de las barras. El resultado está a la altura de las mejores acuarelas europeas. Los colores son algo menos vivos, pero su calidez y espíritu añejo los convierte en únicos. Voy a preparar tinta y a mezclar la entre sí ( diferentes barras de color) , intuyo que los tonos resultantes pueden ser ILIMITADOS.
El embalaje y la entrega perfectos.
Muchas gracias.
Este tipo de productos son EMOCIONANTES.
UN AUTÉNTICO TESORO. ! -
