{"product_id":"nitram-fusain-aquarelle-charcoal-watercolor","title":"Fusain Aquarelle Charcoal Watercolor","description":"\u003cp\u003ePowdered charcoal suspended in gum arabic creates something distinct from both traditional charcoal and conventional watercolor. Nitram grinds their vine charcoal into pigment, then binds it with honey and glycerin for a paint that behaves like watercolor but maintains charcoal's characteristic transparency and tonal range. The result flows smoothly from brush to paper, delivering everything from pale silvery washes to saturated blacks depending on dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix directly in the reusable tin or transfer to a palette, the screw-top design keeps the paint workable between sessions. Quick-drying formulation allows rapid layering without disturbing previous applications, useful for building atmospheric depth or adding dark accents to existing work. The natural binder system produces genuine watercolor behavior: edges bloom softly when wet, dried layers reactivate with additional water, and transparent washes layer without muddying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis works particularly well for monochromatic studies, adding charcoal effects to mixed media pieces, or creating ink-like line work that maintains watercolor's fluid character. All-natural ingredients mean you're working with actual charcoal rather than black pigment approximations. At 1.75 ounces, the tin provides substantial material for both experimental sketches and finished pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nitram","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":47973683560677,"sku":"68132","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s68132.jpg?v=1761724113","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/nitram-fusain-aquarelle-charcoal-watercolor","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
