Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Fine Art Paint — 1.0 oz Jar, Opaque Matte White for Corrections & Highlights

Engineered for illustrators, designers, and watercolor artists, this 1.0 oz (30 ml) glass jar contains a concentrated, non-mixing white intended for application as an opaque top layer. It offers dependable hiding power on paper-based surfaces, making it ideal for corrections, highlights, and building layered compositions without diluting underlying pigments. Made in the USA, the formula is formulated specifically to sit on top of dye colors rather than blend with them.

How does this Bleed Proof White work on marker and dye-based art?

The paint is formulated to remain opaque and sit above dye-based media rather than reactivating or tinting surrounding color. Applied with a brush, pen, or tool, it creates a clean, light-reflective white that masks underlying tones and sharpens edges without feathering.

• Opaque latex-like finish that blocks dye bleed-through.
• Stable when layered—won't remix into base colors.
• Suits brush, ruling pen, or dip pen applications for precise coverage.

Can I use Bleed Proof White for corrections and highlights in watercolor work?

Yes — it's commonly used to correct small mistakes, lift visual weight, and add crisp highlights after washes have dried. Because it's not intended for color mixing, place it as a topcoat to preserve previously established hues.

• Perfect for refining edges, adding catchlights, and fixing tiny errors.
• Works on dry washes without bleeding into the layer beneath.
• Dries to a consistent, matte white well suited for scanned artwork.

What surfaces and techniques are best for this product?

This product performs best on paper-based supports, sketchbook pages, illustration board, and other absorbent surfaces. It is especially helpful in mixed-media pieces where marker or dye inks need an opaque overlay without the unpredictability of rewetting.

• Designed for paper, Bristol, watercolor paper, and illustration board.
• Use with fine brushes, nib pens, or micro spatulas for control.
• Not formulated as a mixing white—apply as a top layer only.

How should I store and care for the jar to keep the paint usable?

Keep the jar tightly closed and stored upright in a cool, dry place to preserve consistency and prevent skinning. If a thin surface film forms, remove it; stir gently before use. Avoid freezing temperatures and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

• Reseal cap after each use to prevent drying.
• Store at room temperature away from direct heat or cold.
• Clean tools promptly to maintain flow and brush shape.
