I have been making my own watercolor paint and have had a problem with mold growing on some colors.
What are some preservatives that I could add to my paint to prevent mold growth?

Sorry for the late response. I have been traveling. A drop
or two of Thymol dissolved in alcohol added to a volume (5 fluid oz or so) of
dissolved gum Arabic was always suggested for this purpose in the past. This
may not be the case today.
