Review on Pebeo Drawing Gum Marker: πŸ–ŒοΈ .7mm-Natural Latex Pen for Precision Artwork by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great chewing gum!

I am new to watercolor painting and have never used an eraser. I had this idea for a birthday card and it had to use chewing gum. I didn't want to spend more than 10€ and it was perfect. It's very runny, not sure why others have complained about this, faulty batches do happen and with Revain's return policy returns are easy. It dries fairly quickly, is completely transparent but not so far that you can't see it at all. . The downside to quick drying is that you have to work fast or it will start drying out, sticking to the brush and forming little clumps. But even with this, the coverage is even and complete. Now the most amazing! I applied it to the drawing to paint over immediately but life intervened and I couldn't get to it for 2 months. I was afraid that the gum would dissolve or affect the quality of the painting. To my surprise it didn't, and the gum protected the paper and came off just as easily as if I had applied it an hour ago. It peels off in one piece, no rips, no stains, the paper is clean and ready to paint! I will have to work on staying in line and on my speed so next time everything will be perfect :)
