Inktober 4.0 set includes several warm and cool black colors for creating dramatic and rich monochrome art. There is a variety of temperatures, transparency, opacity, and granulation. Titanium White allows to create gouache-like colors out of each pigment.
These colors interact very well and compliment and balance each other. They are perfect for dramatic black-and-white painting, value studies, monochrome art, and the Inktober challenge. They can be combined with other palettes and sets!
The set includes 12 colors:
- Aniline Black - one of the oldest synthetic black pigments historically used for printing.
- Lamp Black - pigment made of soot of burnt tar, one of the most intense and saturated cool blacks.
- Iron Oxide Neutral Black - dense and opaque black, derivative of magnetite.
- Obsidian (aka Dragonglass) - naturally occurring volcanic glass.
- Chromium Black - a beautiful gentle black color with warm undertones.
- Channel Black - carbon pigment made with the use of burning, a warm gentle black with subtle granulation.
- Bideford Black - a unique, naturally occurring rare pigment only found in Bideford, North Devon (UK).
- Melange Green is made with the use of organic manufactured green and brown pigments. The resulting color is a pleasant earth-colored green color with warm brown undertones.
- Graphite - a color made of pure graphite.
- Bister Black - a pigment made with soot of burnt wood, widely used in ink making. Saturated and smooth, it will work great in both painting and lettering. This version has subtle brown undertones.
- Sepia - Sepia is a convenience color made of a combination of brown and black earth pigments to achieve darkness and granulation while remaining transparent.
- Titanium White - opaque cool white, perfect for highlights and for creating opaque colors out of any transparent ones.
