Available now in this convenient 5ml tube set of the 3 colours, Grape Seed Black, Cherry Pitt Black and Peach Stone Black. You have the opportunity to experiment with this innovative liquid charcoal range.

Due to the larger quantity of colour you can squeeze from the tube, liquid charcoal can be used to quickly cover large areas. The liquid charcoal contains a high-quality Gum Arabic binder, like traditional artists' watercolours and gouaches and has a gouache-like consistency. It can be diluted with water, so that different shades, structures and layer thicknesses can be achieved by different application. Depending on the substrate and the thickness of the layer, it can be wiped off by hand and removed with water. Used as thin under-painting, subsequent paints do not become dirty or become less dirty than with conventional charcoal under-painting due to the higher adhesion of the bound carbon pigments to the substrate.

Of course, the liquid charcoal can be combined with drawing charcoal. The blurring and ease of erasing of the liquid charcoal depends on the surface of the substrate - the more even and firm the surface, the easier to change the application. Prior testing is always recommended.
