Description

Cobalt 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.

Cobalt Violet Watercolor Ink is a soft, floral violet made from genuine cobalt phosphate. Known for its gentle tinting strength and subtle granulation, this pigment has been used since the 19th century for its delicate color and exceptional permanence. It flows smoothly in washes and retains its luminosity even in layers, making it ideal for florals, glazing, classical portraiture, and ethereal effects in ink work.
