Arzica Weld Lake Intense Yellow Watercolor Paint

Description

Intense Arzica Weld Lake is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Intense Arzica Weld Lake is a bold, luminous yellow made from the flowering tops of Reseda luteola, traditionally known as weld or arzica. This plant has been used as a primary source of yellow dye across Europe since antiquity. The pigment yields a striking, clear yellow with excellent transparency and a smooth, controlled flow. With its radiant tone and botanical origin, Intense Arzica Weld Lake is ideal for glazing, botanical work, and traditional palettes requiring historically accurate plant based color.
