This 10ml tube of Rosa Gallery Carbon Black watercolour paint is designed for professional artists and enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, intensely pigmented black. Its key benefit is the rich, matte finish with excellent covering power, ideal for adding depth and contrast. A potential caveat for some users may be its semi-opaque nature, which differs from transparent blacks.

Carbon Black is excellent for contrast, shading, and monochrome work. Its semi-opaque nature makes it ideal for layering and covering, but less suited for purely transparent glazing compared to a transparent black pigment.
Each tube contains 10ml of Carbon Black watercolour paint.
You can achieve various shades of grey by mixing the Carbon Black with clean water to dilute its intensity. For warmer or cooler greys, mix with a small amount of complementary colour or a cool/warm pigment respectively.
The product description indicates 'Excellent' lightfastness, meaning the colour is highly resistant to fading when exposed to light.
Yes, Rosa Gallery watercolour paints are designed to be intermixable with other brands and colours of watercolour. You can use it to adjust the tone or create muted shades.
This Carbon Black watercolour paint dries to a matte finish.
This can happen if the cap is not sealed properly. Add a drop of clean water to the paint on the palette and let it sit for a minute before mixing.
Ensure you are not overworking the paint or using too much black in proportion to other colors. Experiment with tonal values and light washes first.
Use slightly more water than usual. Ensure the paint was not left to dry for an excessively long period. A drop of a watercolour medium can also help.
Setup: This watercolour paint is ready to use directly from the tube. Squeeze a small amount onto your palette.
Compatibility: Rosa Gallery watercolour paints are compatible with most standard watercolour paper, mediums, and brushes. It can be mixed with other watercolour paints from different brands. For best results, use with high-quality watercolour paper.
