Graphite and Charcoal in watercolor - are they worth checking out?
Inexpensive, large 60ml tubes and the promise of deep black.
Is that true?
Or is it better to use only watercolors and avoid such new products?
Are they any different?
And how do they react to water, since they're usually associated with sticks?
See for yourself!

Renesans Charcoal Water Liquid Charcoal
Charcoal Water is pure liquid charcoal, made from ground charcoal and gum arabic. Charcoal particles are small and have the richest black, allowing you to create any work similar to water-based paint. Because charcoal particles are slightly larger than other pigments used in watercolor, an interesting granulation effect occurs. This can be enhanced by using more gritty paper and by the amount of water added. Once dry, charcoal has a matte finish, revealing a variety of textures and granulations.
Charcoal Water Features:
Ideal for both expressive and delicate works.
Vast tonal possibilities and a range of shades can be created with a single brushstroke, from velvety black to light gray, with blue and brown undertones.
Allows for the creation of a variety of textures and granulations.
Compared to black watercolor paint, it exhibits differences in pigment granulation, which is useful for special effects or creating very strong shades, even by mixing with other paints.
Can be used wet or dry.
Can be used with any absorbent surfaces, such as watercolor paper, canvases, and panels previously coated with a watercolor primer.
To protect the finished work, it is recommended to use a fixative.
