Furnace Black

Furnace Black is a rich, deep black that goes by many names including Lamp Black, Carbon Black, and Channel Black.  It itself is a carbon pigment created by the heated decomposition of natural hydrocarbons.  Furnace Black's carbon is industrially produced in a furnace in a controlled process, creating a smooth and opaque black color.

PLEASE NOTE:  This color is being sold at a discounted price because as the paint dried it shrank in the pan enough so that we decided to offer them at a lower cost.  Because our colors are so pigmented,  and Furnace Black in particular is so rich, a pan should still last a while.

All of our watercolors are non-toxic and handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments and natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine and distilled water.
