{"title":"Gouache \u0026 Poster Colour","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eJapanese poster colour is the paint traditionally used for animation backgrounds, and a staple of manga colour work. We stock it for colour that’s flat, matte and even, with no brush marks and no watercolour blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eIt’s opaque, so it covers pencil and mistakes, and it thins with water for softer layers. It isn’t waterproof once dry, which means you can rework it, but it will move if you wet it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eIf you’re colouring comic pages, thin it to the consistency of cream and lay each area in one pass for an even, flat finish. Use it over waterproof ink, because it will lift a water-soluble line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eWe bring ours in from Japan, because it’s rarely sold in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nicker-poster-colour-white-animation-ink","title":"Nicker Poster Colour White — Animation Ink","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy illustrators reach for Nicker White\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost white inks compromise. They dry translucent, bead on dark surfaces, or change consistency between bottles. Nicker White doesn't. The formulation was developed for professional animation production, where consistency across hundreds of hours of work is not optional. The result is an opaque white that covers cleanly in a single pass, holds its body on a loaded brush, and sits on top of finished ink lines without spreading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe pigment load is higher than most Western poster colour whites. This means the coverage is genuine rather than approximate, and thinning with water produces a range of opacities that all behave predictably. Japanese animation artists use it for highlights and corrections; British illustrators who've discovered it tend not to go back to anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53224969470280,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0709\/2808\/files\/Nicker_Poster_colour_white_cf098d11-ebf1-4cdd-a8f6-857e5cfc17f0.png?v=1781678932"},{"product_id":"nicker-poster-colour-japanese-animation-ink","title":"Nicker Poster Colour — Japanese Animation Ink","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ink behind Japanese animation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhen Hayao Miyazaki's studio needed colours that held their character across hundreds of animation cels, they reached for Nicker.

Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Prussian Blue, Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Chrome Yellow, Yellow Orche, Raw Umber, Scarlet Lake, Burnt Sienna, Chrome Green, Orange, Viridian, French Gray, and Black.
