Charbonnel Liquid Tusche Drawing Ink

Charbonnel Lithographic Liquid Tusche is a professional-grade ink designed for creating images on lithography stones, aluminium plates, and mokulito (wood) plates. A versatile addition to any printmaker's studio, it is equally suited to traditional and contemporary lithographic processes.

The liquid formulation allows for fluid, expressive mark-making and is well suited to brush application. Because it can be layered, artists can build up tone and texture gradually, achieving a wide range of values from delicate washes to dense, solid areas. Diluting with water gives greater control over transparency and coverage.

Compatible with both stone and plate lithography, as well as the increasingly popular mokulito technique, this tusche supports a broad range of printmaking practices.
