Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White Fine Art Paint, 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Great product. I use for my white with watercolor paintings. Does a great job. Just add a bit of it with water in the lid. Works great.

The media could not be loaded. 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! LolOverall, I am extremely happy with this product. It makes the best stars via splattering, which is the main way I use it. #artnerd #spacenerdPS/ 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 perfect for painting white, no matter how strong the background color may be. A must-have item for all watercolor painters!

I’ve just never gone wrong with Dr.PH Martin’s products! I researched the Bleed Proof White on line and since the consensus was that it is truly opaque, I ordered it. This will take care of some problems I’ve been having. I also love the way it handles, and it will go a long way. I’m so glad I found it!

CONTEXTI needed white ink for a calligraphy project and wasn't quite sure what to use. After some research, I found that a lot of calligraphers swore by Dr. PH Martin's Bleedproof White, so I got on it ASAP!PROS- It's OPAQUE!!!! Oh my goodness, the opaqueness of this stuff is an absolute dream. ESPECIALLY if you're like me and like to use watercolors, this will absolutely change your life.- It is easy to use, ONCE you figure out how to use it (LOL). See my cons for more on this.- The ink is smooth to use and flows beautifully.CONS- When you initially open the bottle, the ink is VERY THICK. The consistency looks like goopy acrylic paint. So, if you were to use the ink with a nib pen or watercolor brush, you'd find very quickly, you CAN'T. So basically, you cannot use this straight out of the bottle.- To use it, you need to add water, BUT not too much and not too little (finicky little ink). You'll want to add just the right amount for your medium, naturally. For me, I added more water, as I do like the "watercolor" look and feel. If you aren't sure about where you should be, you can always watch a video on YouTube about it.- Because you have to add water to the ink, you'll likely need another little canister to store whatever you mix. Not a big deal if you're an artist, since you'll likely already have some extra paint pots.OVERALLI love this stuff. Once I figured out how to use it, I couldn't believe I didn't already have this in my arsenal. Whether you need it or not, great to have in your tool belt.

I used this just a few minutes ago. It does dry out, but with a wet brush it comes back and is perfectly fine.

Just as advertised, there is no bleed, which can be a disaster to artists, and it does what it says, covers with a bright white that can't be tainted by dry watercolors.

This is a great product for a bleed proof white. I've used it for accents, splatters, highlights, and I'm sure I'll do much more with it as time goes on.
