Nicker Poster Colour - Emerald Green (33) - 20 ml Tube

Developed from over 50 years of research and experience, Nicker Poster Colours deliver highly saturated, smooth color manufactured to the highest standards to have minimal impurities. They dry with a matte finish. Although these pigment-based paints are similar to watercolors in that they are water soluble and easy to spread, they are much more opaque. This allows artists to work freely without having to carefully avoid areas that will be a light color in the finished painting. These are the same paints used in Japanese animation studios like Studio Ghibli to paint backgrounds, where they are appreciated for their vibrancy, versatility, and ease of use. Each Nicker Poster Colour is rated according to its degree of lightfastness, tendency to bleed into other colors, and opacity. The ratings, pigment codes, and Munsell numbers for each color can be found in the photos section. Lightfastness indicates the tendency of a color to fade when exposed to sunlight. There are three ratings: A: The color is completely lightfast. B: The color is partially lightfast. C: The color is not lightfast. Bleeding indicates the tendency of a dry color to bleed into a wet color that has been painted over it. There are three ratings: A: The dry color does not bleed into the wet color. B: The dry color partially bleeds into the wet color. C: The dry color bleeds significantly into the wet color. Opacity indicates how much a color allows colors underneath it to show through. There are two ratings: A: The color is completely opaque. B: The color is either transparent when wet but opaque after it has dried, or it allows dark colors to partially show through. Features: Water soluble. Pigment based. Highly saturated. Matte.
