Renesans charcoal water charcoal in watercolor 60ml

Producer: Renesans

Charcoal water made from grated charcoal and gum arabic. The charcoal particles are small and have the richest black, which allows you to do any job just like with water-based paint. Since the charcoal particles are slightly larger than the other pigments used in watercolor, there is an interesting granulation effect. This can be enhanced by using finer paper and by the amount of water added. After drying, the charcoal is dull, and we see various areas of texture and granulation.
As gum arabic is a highly soluble medium, it allows Charcoal Water to be reused, similar to watercolor paints.
