It was made from ground graphite and gum arabic. Graphite has a slightly cooler shade of black than liquid carbon and does not granulate as much. Water-soluble graphite allows you to produce work with an effect similar to water-based paint. The graphite particles are slightly larger than other pigments used in watercolor. When dry, the graphite is matte.
