Geneva Black consistency.

Barbara

It's been a couple of months now and I absolutely love the Geneva paints. The consistent nature of the paints is so satisfying to work with. I am wondering though about my black tube. It doesn't have the same creamy texture of the rest of the paints and I have to add oils to it. Shaking it hasn't helped. Is this normal?

Same issue here, except my BU also has this thick cream cheese texture.  I have never seen BU or Black look the same as the videos.

Black is less creamy than brown? Strange. My black looks the same as yours. Haven't tried brown yet though.

Hi guys! We had a thick batch of black and a thick batch of brown that went out are have been replacing for anyone who emails. Send me an email over at support@genevafineart.com and I'll get a replacement out to you. Sorry about that!!

@Gamble_Nelkin that's very nice of Geneva.

But do you have any advice on how to handle this without the need for a replacement?  In other words, is it just a matter of a little Linseed oil and my black will be the same?

This perhaps is a black produced by mixing burnt umber and ultramarine. This happens with burnt umber.

Yeah my geneva black is the second thickest, with burnt umber being super thick.. Likely from a bad batch
