Graphite is also called graphite, and is the same carbon companion as soot and carbon black. Even though the chemical symbols are the same, the color and nature vary depending on the crystal structure.
The matte texture is characteristic, not only for diluting with water, but also for three -dimensional and thick expressions that make use of the material by applying it as it is. You can also polish the thick base and create a glossy paint surface.
It is also possible to use it with your water -based art supplies. By enriching the concentration or mixing with modeling paste, it is a bumpy expression that makes use of the material.
However, please note that this paint does not have water resistance even after drying, just like transparent watercolors.

The bleeding is also characteristic, and while drawing on a high -absorbent paper, it can gain a gradual spread like ink when drawn on a high water -absorbing paper.
As an illustration application, you can also draw a thin line or letter using a brush. However, since it is not water resistant, it is not suitable for bone drawing or color illustration main lines, but we recommend that you finish the work with this paint alone, or a transparent watercolor that makes use of the shade.
