Introducing Liquid earth – perfect for painting and sketching with a brush on small and large surfaces like the liquid charcoal.
It comes in three vegan colours: chalk (for coloured backgrounds), umber, and sanguine.
Cardboard set: 3 x 5 ml Individual tubes
For perfect drawings – clean, dust-free, vegan and natural
The vegan liquid charcoals and earths, available in a total of 6 colours are ideal for a clean, dust-free approach to painting, drawing and underpainting. The liquid charcoals and liquid earths are available in three colour variations each in 15 ml tubes, as well as corresponding sets of three 5 ml tubes.
Liquid earths
The 3 liquid earths are formulated based on natural pigments mined regionally in Germany. They are a fantastic liquid addition or alternative to traditional drawing materials, such as pencils or carré sticks.
- Liquid chalk – 18 850
- Liquid sanguine – 18 854
- Liquid umber – 18 852
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.
Application tips
The liquid charcoals and earths can also be easily combined with charcoal or chalk/sanguine/umber pencils. The possibility of smudging and removal depends on the nature of the substrate. The smoother and firmer the surface, the easier it is to change the colour. It is recommended to conduct tests beforehand. All 6 colours are available as individual tubes and sets of 3. Please note that due to the nature of the products as pigments, minimal colour variations may occur between different batches.
