Complete guide: Fusion drawing brush Opaque Gray Medium 15 ml
This is a water-based ink intended for drawing, in the medium neutral gray shade from the Opaque Gray series by the Fusion brand. The 15 ml bottle contains pre-dispersed pigment, with high pigment load, in a 100% vegan and cruelty-free formula. It is useful for artists and enthusiasts working on sketches and studies in gray tones who want a consistent mid-tone without manually diluting black. Note: the declared purpose of the product is drawing, not tattooing.
How to use
- Shake the bottle vigorously for about one minute before each use to ensure the pigment is evenly dispersed.
- Pour only the necessary amount into a separate, single-use working container — the controlled-pour bottle helps you dose without waste.
- Do not touch the bottle's mouth to tools or the working surface, and close it immediately after pouring to avoid contaminating the contents.
- Use the Medium shade as a base tone and intermediate tone in gray works; for lighter or darker transitions, combine it with the other shades in the series (Extra Light, Light, Dark, Extra Dark).
- Never pour back into the bottle any ink remaining in the working container — discard it at the end of the session.
- Store the bottle tightly sealed, at temperatures between 10 and 32 °C.
Tips from us
- The shade is pre-dispersed, so it does not need to be diluted to achieve gray — using it directly maintains the same tone from session to session.
- The 15 ml format is suitable for testing the shade or completing your palette before buying the entire series.
- If you get only one shade from the series, Medium is the most versatile: being the central tone, it covers both the shading base and intermediate tones.
- For gray-blue tones, the manufacturer mentions it can be combined with shades from the Opaque Blue series.
- Note the opening date on the bottle and check the expiration date on the label — this way you always know how fresh the ink you are working with is.
- Build gradients gradually, from light to dark tones — it is easier to deepen a shadow than to lighten it.
