Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Fine Art Paint, 1.0 oz, White, 1 Jar

One pot of this bleed proof white lasts a really long time and it is perfectly opaque. I use mine in almost every watercolor painting I do. My favorite uses are highlights, water ripples, stars and moons, and snow. If you use this sparingly on a painting for even just some highlights, it does wonders in making the painting really pop. Another good use is to mix it with a watercolor paint to create a light colored opaque gauche-like color as well. If I need to paint over something darker in a lighter color, I do this a lot with this bleed proof white. It turns into a creamy matte opaque version of any color, and it sits perfectly on top. Highly recommend this paint!

Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White is the go-to opaque white for calligraphy, watercolor and mixed media, but there are a few things you should know about it before you get started. Or before you freak out and throw it away or return it. Keep reading to learn more... First, this water-based and thus not permanent. According to their website, "Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White is an opaque watercolor for covering dye colors, markers, and designer colors." It is bleed proof when used correctly. If using to cover up watercolor that has bleed under tape or that you accidentally put in a space you meant to leave white it will not bleed when placed on top of dried watercolor paint/paper. However, you cannot put watercolor over the top of it. It is not permanent. It will mix into your watercolor paints as a previous reviewer learned the hard way. It is extremely opaque and good for covering up DRIED watercolor, dye or ink. Second, if your product arrives gloopy or dries out quickly; no fear! It is not ruined. This is a water-based product and as such you can add an itty bitty bit of distilled water to the jar and mixed it up to get the consistency you desire. Inky Nib Calligraphy has a blog post and YouTube video about it. Go check her out. It's not long, but more detailed than my review/video. I have hard water and so have distilled on hand for various things. She doesn't use distilled, but I would if mixing it in the jar. Especially, because I don’t go through this quickly. I don't want mold. If you don't have distilled water on hand simply take a tiny amount out using a clean implement of your choosing and mixed elsewhere. I used a toothpick and called it a Q-tip in the video! Lol Overall, I am extremely happy with this product. It makes the best stars via splattering, which is the main way I use it. #artnerd #spacenerd PS/ My video mentions Index Card A Day. #ICAD This is an annual art event where everyone makes art on Index cards during the month of June & July (61 days). Prompts available and optional. Interested? Do a search online or Instagram. Fun and free. Mine in the photo/video is from the prompt "midnight."

This is, without a doubt, is a wonderful addition to my world of watercolor! It has a thick rich consistency and is easily thinned with water. It is opaque out of the bottle and stays a bright white even when dry. When thinned it can used to produce the effect of smoke, clouds, mist, etc. I also wanted to say a big "Thank You!" to Dr. Ph. Martin for the packing of this product. It is such a disappointment when you order art supplies online only to receive them damaged--bent bristles, a pad of paper with a damaged corner, etc. The care in packaging for this glass jar was stellar--great product that came ready to use!

I'm not the first to say this I'm sure, but, this fine art paint is wonderful for details. I'm on my second jar and a little goes a long way. You can beat it for the intended use. Highly recommend.

Works great. It’s thick but adding a little water to it helped make it perfect to use.

Excellent product EXCEPT the cap is not airtight. Bought 5 months ago, the paint is now an almost solid block (with some liquid on top) due to evaporation. With the cap on at tight as I can get it, it leaks a little when shaken. I'll buy again, but plan keep the bottle in a ziplock this time.

Absolute best stuff to add whites on watercolors.

First of all it's truly White, Completely opaque. You can use it straight from the bottle or water it down a little bit as needed. It seems to mix well with colors if you're looking for a more pastel look. If you make a mistake this will totally blend in with your paper and completely hide it. I also love the fact that you only need to use a very small amount.

The item is nicely packed. Received in good condition

I’ve been using it for years, and it’s the perfect white to cover any mishap with your line art. And should you leave the pot opened by mistake, and it dries, a few drops of water, and it’s good to go again. Honestly a great product for artist.

Per mia moglie è ottimo.

Endlich ein Weiß, das deckt! Man kann auf Tiefschwarz einen weißen Lichtpunkt setzen. Herrlich! Ich hab soviel ausprobiert, aber kein anderes Weiß tat was es sollte. Hier ist der Preis ganz schön hoch, aber gerechtfertigt. Es ist sehr ergiebig. Ich würde Kunsthaar-Pinsel dafür empfehlen, die waschen sich besser aus, als Echthaar. Absolut klare Kaufempfehlung.
