The vegan liquid charcoal and liquid earth are available in a total of six colours.

Liquid charcoal

The pigments used are of natural origin and are created by carbonising fruit stones from the EU region, resulting in the following unique charcoal shades:

• a neutral peach pit black
• a warm, brownish cherry pit black and
• a cool, bluish grape seed black.

Liquid earth

The three liquid earths are formulated on the basis of natural earth pigments mined regionally in Germany. They are a great liquid addition or alternative to the familiar drawing materials, e.g. in pencil or carré stick form.

• Liquid chalk
  Liquid red chalk
  Liquid umber

The liquid charcoals and earths allow large areas to be worked on quickly due to their large amount of colour. They contain high-quality gum arabic as a binder, similar to traditional artists' watercolours (gouache, watercolours etc.), and have a consistency similar to gouache. Various shades, textures and layer thicknesses can be achieved by diluting with water. Depending on the surface and layer thickness, the colours remain smudgeable by hand and can be easily removed with water.
