Pigment Ivory Black 120gm Series 1

In its pure state, black does not literally exist. In fact, all substances that appear black actually have the capacity to absorb the entire range of colours found in light white.

Ivory black is carbon from animal bones calcified in a vase, rather than ivory tusks as was in the past. A warm, intense black that turns brownish when mixed with white. Very good lightfastness. In oil painting, requires large amounts of binder. Does not dry well. Suitable for all techniques.
