Electrum Ink’s Opaque #3 is the workhorse of the 4 Stage Opaque Set. Sitting in that perfect mid-dark zone, it’s designed for building shadows, layering tones, and creating smooth, natural depth. Strong enough to anchor shading but soft enough to stay blendable, Opaque #3 gives artists the control to push their grayscale work without harshness. Available in: 1 oz and 2 oz bottles Why Opaque #3 Stands Out Mid-Dark Opaque – Balances depth and softness. Shadow Builder – Ideal for portraits, realism, and layering. Smooth Application – Flows clean, saturates even, heals consistent. Versatile Depth – Works equally well in black & gray or muted color palettes. Professional Standard – Reliable Electrum Ink™ performance.
