Description

Cuttlefish Sepia Watercolor Ink is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor ink made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment extracted from the natural ink sacs of cuttlefish. 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.

Cuttlefish Sepia Watercolor Ink is a warm, deep black brown hue that showcases the organic richness of authentic cuttlefish ink. This ink delivers a robust, naturally earthy tone with a distinctive fluidity and subtle granulation, making it ideal for dynamic brushwork, expressive calligraphy, and atmospheric washes. Perfect for artists who value historical authenticity and natural beauty, Cuttlefish Sepia Watercolor Ink imparts a timeless, organic quality to every creative stroke.
