The 3 unique charcoal shades are obtained through the carbonisation of fruit pits from the EU region, using three natural pigments (PBk 8, core black):
A neutral peach stone black - 18 757
A warm, brownish cherry pit black - 18 756
A cool, bluish grape seed black – 18 755
Due to its composition it can be mixed with other dry or wet techniques. Schmincke liquid charcoal allows clean and dust-free painting, drawing with charcoal and underpainting with charcoal. Schmincke offers three different colour shades. The three pigments of natural origin used for this (PBk 8, pit black) are created with charcoal from fruit seeds from the EU area and result in unique charcoal shades.
