Chrome Green

Description

Chrome Green 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 only pure distilled water and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally vibrant and richly pigmented liquid.

Chrome Green Watercolor Ink is a strong, opaque green made from chromium oxide, long used in both fine art and decorative painting. This pigment produces a dense, cool green with excellent lightfastness, a smooth matte finish, and subtle granulation. Its durable, mineral character makes it ideal for landscape work, architectural illustration, and historically informed palettes where strength and permanence are essential.
