AlZnTi Deep Violet Watercolor Ink

Description

AlZnTi Violet Watercolor Ink is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor ink made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every bottle is meticulously hand mixed, poured, and sealed, using water, pure local honey, natural gum arabic, a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative, and less than 1% bentonite to slow settling and aid reincorporation. Every ink is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

In use, AlZnTi Violet gives a powerful yet controlled violet ideal for florals, night skies, shadows in landscape and figurative work, architectural details, and contemporary abstract painting. It has strong tinting strength with a semi-opaque to opaque character, allowing it to function as a confident dark in masstone while still building nuanced layers in thinner washes or glazes. It mixes beautifully with cool and warm reds for a range of royal and wine violets, with blues for deep indigo and twilight mixes, and with earths and neutrals for sophisticated plum grays, shadow violets, and muted near blacks that stay rich instead of muddy. As a ceramic style mixed oxide, it behaves more like a refined mineral pigment than an organic violet.
