Complete guide: Fusion drawing brush Opaque Gray Light 15 ml
You're looking at a light neutral gray from the Opaque Gray series by Fusion, delivered in a 15 ml bottle and listed in our drawing ink category. It is the second lightest shade in a series of five pre-dispersed grays, designed for medium light areas, gradual transitions, and mid-tones in graywash or portrait work. The water-based formula uses organic pigments, is 100% vegan, and contains no fillers — a suitable choice for practicing shading techniques and completing your gray palette.
How to use
- Check the integrity of the seal and the bottle label before first use.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for about one minute before each use to fully homogenize the pigment.
- Pour only the amount needed into disposable ink caps — never work directly from the bottle.
- Use the shade according to its intended purpose as a drawing ink: sketches, shading exercises on synthetic skin, or other practice surfaces.
- For gradients, combine it with the other shades in the Opaque Gray series (Extra Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Dark), building transitions from light to dark.
- Close the bottle immediately after pouring and wipe the bottle neck to prevent the cap from sticking and to avoid contamination.
- At the end, discard all leftover ink in the caps — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly sealed, at temperatures between 10 and 32°C, away from sunlight.
Tips from us
- The 15 ml bottle is the right size to test the shade before investing in the entire Opaque Gray series.
- Pre-dispersed grays give you the same shade every session — still, note down your combinations to easily reproduce a gradient.
- If you want gray-blue tones, the shade can be mixed with the Opaque Blue series from the same manufacturer.
- Place ink caps on your work surface in a fixed order, from lightest to darkest, to avoid mixing them up during work.
- If the bottle has been unused for a long time, extend shaking until the ink flows evenly again.
Warning: The manufacturer and store explicitly state that this ink's intended use is drawing, not tattooing — using it for any other purpose is strictly at the consumer's own risk. Follow basic hygiene rules applicable to any ink: work with disposable ink caps, do not insert tools into the bottle, do not pour leftover ink back into the container, and keep the product tightly sealed at 10–32°C, out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this ink for tattoos?▾
No — on tatuat.ro the product is listed as a drawing ink, and the description explicitly states that its intended use is drawing, not tattooing. Any use other than the stated purpose is strictly the consumer's responsibility. However, for practicing shading on synthetic skin or for sketches, it is exactly the right tool.
Where does the Light shade stand in the Opaque Gray series?▾
It is the second lightest of the five shades in the series: Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark. Being a light neutral gray, you use it for areas of medium light, gradual transitions, and mid-tones, and together with the rest of the series you can build complete gray gradients.
What's in the formula, and is it vegan?▾
The water-based formula contains organic pigments, distilled water, witch hazel, and alcohol. It is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and contains no fillers. The product is made in the USA.
Why use a ready-made gray instead of diluting black myself?▾
The grays in the Opaque series are pre-dispersed, meaning the shade is calibrated at the factory. This eliminates the variability of manual dilution of black and gives you exactly the same tone every work session, regardless of who uses the bottle — which is why the series is used as a graywash reference.
How do I maintain and store the bottle properly?▾
Shake vigorously for about one minute before each use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Work only with disposable ink caps, do not pour leftover ink back into the bottle, and close the bottle immediately after pouring. Store the product at 10–32°C, away from sunlight, and check before use that the ink flows evenly.
Can it be mixed with other inks?▾
The shades in the Opaque Gray series are designed to blend with each other for natural transitions, and the manufacturer mentions that the Light shade also mixes well with the Opaque Blue series for custom gray-blue tones. For predictable results, it's safest to stick within the same Fusion line.
