Lunar Black - Imagine a transparent black with an expansive value range and pigment particles that react like magnetic shavings attracting and repelling each other. These unique pigment properties make Lunar Black a radically reticulating color. When dry, a Lunar Black wash resembles a marbled moonscape. This mottled stony texture may be successfully glazed. You can even gently paint into a wet or damp Lunar Black, dropping in watery pigment-virtually any combination of favorites. Lunar Black is an inorganic neutral black watercolor pigment. Think Black Magic-and re-think black.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
