Chrome Green Watercolor Ink

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 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.

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.
