About this product range

Richly pigmented to produce a pure, opaque matte finish, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache Tubes are artist-grade, waterbased gouache colors offering professional performance and outstanding lightfastness. High concentrations of the same premium pigments and pure gum arabic as Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors result in optimal density and opacity without whites or other fillers. 17 of the line’s 22 richly saturated colors are formulated with a single pigment for clean color mixtures, and every color in the range offers exceptional lightfastness.

Wonderful on both light and dark surfaces, these professional gouache colors allow for a full range of lifting and staining techniques. Apply colors as mass tone straight from the tube for rich, full-bodied solids with single brushstrokes or temper colors smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers.

Properties
Lamp black is a very opaque, heavily staining black pigment that does not have much covering power. It is typically the most opaque black in watercolor form. Though a very pure black, it tends to muddy slightly in mixtures, is one of the slowest drying pigments in oils, and should not be used under other colors.
Permanence
Lamp Black is very lightfast and absolutely permanent. It is used in all techniques in permanent painting.
Toxicity
Lamp Black is slightly toxic by skin contact and inhalation. It is a possible human carcinogen.
History
Lamp Black is a carbon based black traditionally produced by collecting soot (known as lampblack) from oil lamps. It is the black found in Egyptian murals and tomb decorations and was the most popular black for frescoing until the development of Mars Black.
Description
Carbon Black, Channel Black, Oil Black, Vegetable Black. Flame Black is an impure version of Lamp Black.
