SCHMINCKE liquid charcoal,earth “liquid umber” / tube 15ml

• Ideal for large formats and different surface effects 

Due to their larger quantity of colour, liquid charcoals and earths allow for the quick processing of large areas. They contain high-quality gum arabic as a binder, like traditional artists’ watercolours (gouaches, watercolours, etc.) and have a gouache-like consistency. Various nuances, textures and layer thicknesses can be achieved by diluting with water. Depending on the substrate and layer thickness, the colours remain manually smearable and can be easily removed with water.

• For underpaintings 

Liquid charcoals are particularly suitable as a thin underpainting (e.g., in oil painting), as the good adhesion of the bound pigments leads to less contamination of subsequent colours compared to conventional charcoal underpaintings.
