Nitram Liquid Charcoal: Where Painting and Drawing Meet
Nitram Liquid Charcoal is an innovative approach to a long-established medium, allowing artists to explore the place where painting and drawing meet. The gum arabic vehicle gives the charcoal different properties, allowing it to be used as a paint as well as a drawing material. You can also use it to create textural effects within watercolour paintings, either for monochrome studies or for describing a dramatic sky. For artists who draw, it can be used to vary the quality of your mark-making within dry charcoal drawings, or for covering large areas; the size of the mark is as big as your largest brush.
