Schmincke : Liquid Charcoal : 35ml
From $10.80
- 3 colours available in 35ml
Info
Schmincke Liquid Charcoal offers a clean, dust-free method for artists working with charcoal.
The three pigments used for Schmincke's Liquid Charcoal are made by charring fruit seeds, which results in different hues: a neutral peach stone black; a warm, brownish cherry pit black; and a cool, bluish grape seed black.
Schmincke Liquid Charcoal is water soluble, so you can adjust the values from very light to a deep, rich black. It can be used as thin underpainting (e.g. in oil painting). Subsequent layers of paints will not altered any more than conventional charcoal underpainting. Not suitable for application with airbrush.
All three colours are available in 35ml tubes.

Lush product, can't wait to use it
From my very sketchy first experiments I think I've found the black I've been looking for. It's a deep rich black when used undiluted and then you can dilute it for washes. I can see myself using this A LOT! Thanks Schminke. Now can you do me an opaque buff white to use with it?
Useful for toning paper
Interesting product. So far have used it diluted to make some nice evenly toned paper for charcoal sketching - painted on then rubbed in with a dry sponge. Lifts to make highlights, not as easily as charcoal dust but less messy. Have also used it for sketching with a brush, a bit like watercolour or dilute Chinese ink. Suspect has a range of uses (including underdrawings, as recommended) and look forward to experimenting.
