Cobalt Turquoise Watercolor Ink

Description

Cobalt Turquoise 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.

Cobalt Turquoise produces a vibrant, cool blue with a slightly green undertone, making it ideal for skies, water, and atmospheric effects in painting. It has strong tinting strength without overpowering other colors, and it mixes well to create soft greens and complex cool tones. This pigment is highly lightfast, exceptionally durable, and resistant to chemical reactions in various mediums, making it a favored choice for artists who require long lasting colors.
