BLACK 2.0 - The world's mattest, flattest, black art material by Stuart Semple
BLACK 2.0
LEGACY VERSION
This was the most pigmented, flattest, mattest, black acrylic paint in the world until we made 3.0
Even though we've produced Black 3.0 now, we continue to offer 2.0 and support it. It's still an amazing paint if you need a one coat application on almost any surface, it's fantastic as a basecoat for 3.0, dilutes to make an amazing drawing ink, and for artists who need continuity in their work - we will keep it available!
This paint has been developed in close collaboration with thousands of artists from all over the world. Their amazing insight, support and inspiration has formed this unique super-black paint for the benefit of all artists*
The first version of BLACK was created by artist Stuart Semple in close collaboration with colour chemists, specialists from the cosmetics industry and architectural coatings experts. Its foundation is Stuart’s ‘Super-Base’ which enables this paint to hold more pigment than any other whilst drying to an anti-reflective, super flat finish.
Thanks to the amazing artistic community, BLACK has been totally reformulated.

- Mattifiers updated - less colour tinting
- Pre-mixed - just one bottle, ready to use acrylic paint with the perfect base to pigment ratio
- More affordable - we’ve sourced more affordable ingredients
- Some users reported base solidifying in transit - this has been fixed
- Can be thinned with water to achieve ink-like flows with little colour loss
- Can be thinned with water to create dyes
With just one coat almost any object (even really shiny ones) becomes super-black and reflects next to no light, giving a Vantastic black hole type effect.
Can I mix it into Resin?
Technically yes, but it will not stay matte! If you're looking for a glossy black finish then this is for you! We recommend using Epoxy Resin.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: this is not the blackest black in the world. It is however a better black than the blackest black in the world as it is actually usable by artists.
*Except Anish Kapoor
HOW TO USE:
Nothing complicated, just use it like a paint. Brush, roller or thin with water to spray.
