With the liquid charcoal from Schmincke you bring your works to paper with the brush in the future. The paint has a gouache-like consistency. It consists of natural pigments, which are obtained by charring fruit seeds from the territory of the EU. Gum arabic is used as a binder.
The liquid charcoal allows you to work cleanly and without dust. You can dilute it with water to achieve different nuances and structures. Depending on the substrate and your paint application, the coal remains smudgeable and can be reabsorbed with water. In any case, we recommend that you test beforehand how your painting surface and the liquid charcoal behave in relation to each other.
Liquid charcoal is the ideal choice if you want to fill larger areas. You can combine it with classic charcoal or use it as a thin undercoat for oil paints. In contrast to the classic charcoal variant, the pigments have a better substrate adhesion, so they do not contaminate the oil paints as much.
Important: Since the liquid charcoal contains natural pigments, there may be minimal color variations in each batch.
