New for 2024, Schmincke Liquid Earth is a vegan and all-natural watercolor, made with three different earth pigments that complement one another beautifully. (They also pair perfectly with Schmincke Liquid Charcoal, as shown in our test photos, and are compatible with any other watercolor or gouache.)

Use Liquid Earth just like your other watercolors—wet a brush, dip it in Liquid Earth, and draw or paint in textured, blendable color. The original character of each natural pigment is expressed in these colors, because unlike finely-milled watercolors, Liquid Earth preserves the texture and variation of the raw materials. As you'd expect from Schmincke, the colors dilute smoothly and hydrate instantly, offering a wide range of values and colors with just a few brushstrokes.

This is Liquid Chalk, made from off-white limestone dust. It's perfect for mixing with other colors to create muted and natural tones. Try mixing it with the other Liquid Earth and Liquid Charcoal colors to create a range of tones and saturation levels. Because it's semi-opaque, you can also use Liquid Chalk for painting highlights over other watercolors.

One 15 mL tube in cardboard box. Other Liquid Earth colors sold separately. Made in Germany.
