Camel Artist Acrylic Colour 40ml Black Sr-1

The Camel Artist Acrylic Colour 40ml Black (Series 1) is a professional, high-viscosity artist acrylic formulated for fine artists, muralists, illustrators, and advanced art students. Manufactured with pure, finely ground carbon black pigment suspended in a 100% acrylic emulsion, this rich black paint delivers intense tinting strength, full opacity, and maximum hiding power. Its thick, buttery consistency retains expressive brush marks and sharp palette knife peaks while also thinning smoothly with water or acrylic mediums for flat washes, detailed linework, and soft tonal gradations. Engineered for archival longevity, it cures into a flexible, water-resistant film that will not crack, peel, or yellow over time, providing a deep, lightfast foundation for bold outlines, deep shadows, and high-contrast studio compositions.
