Liquitex Professional Acrylic Gouache combines the qualities of traditional gouache with the benefits of an acrylic. The archival-quality paint is perfect for mixed media works and alternate surfaces, as well as for color blocking, layering, illustration, and design.

The colors are highly opaque, lightfast, and vibrant — they contain the highest concentration of pigment Liquitex has used. They're also water-resistant when dry.

The colors dry quickly to a permanent, flat matte finish — no brush strokes, reflections, or cracks. Yet they have a creamy, fluid texture with no drag, so you don't have to add water for them to be workable, diluting color vibrancy in the process.

Liquitex worked with artists to create new, ergonomic paint bottles for this line. They're reusable, recyclable, easy to squeeze, and don't have corners, so paint won't get trapped and go to waste. Artists can also stack them on top of each other! The bottles have screw-off tops and extra-wide necks for easy access to the paint. They also have tapered nozzles with a variety of cut marks.

All colors are AP approved and safe for artists.

Pigment information

Titanium White

Pigment code
PW6
Type
inorganic
Chemical name
titanium dioxide
Chemical formula
TiO2
Properties
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Permanence
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Toxicity
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as non-toxic.
History
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

Ivory Black

Pigment code
PBk9
Type
charred animal bone
Chemical name
carbon + calcium phosphate
Chemical formula
C + Ca3(PO4)2 or C x CaPO4
Properties
Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Permanence
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Toxicity
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
History
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
Description
Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
