Going For The Darkest Darks: Black

Moving on to black. I find that Academy's Noir is the blackest black oil paint--it is the equivalent of Pelikan's black for fountain pen ink, the blackest fountain pen ink in the world--compared with those of other brands: Mars Black (too glossy) and Ivory Black (too matte).

All right, that will be enough black for today. It's like sugar. You can't have too much of it.
