Dragon's Blood Pink

Description
Dragon's Blood  is our exquisitely hand-crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated and high quality single source pigment mixed only with pure honey. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, hand packed, filled, and labeled — ensuring maximum pigment concentration without any binders, fillers, or extenders. Our unique formula uses only one pigment and pure local honey, delivering a maximally concentrated watercolor paint.

Dragon’s Blood is a bold, soft pink watercolor made from the resin of the dragon tree (Daemonorops draco or Dracaena cinnabari), a substance steeped in myth, medicine, and ancient art. Used since antiquity across the Mediterranean, Middle East, India, and Asia, this vivid red resin was prized not only as a pigment, but as an incense, varnish, and healing remedy.

Our Dragon’s Blood watercolor is carefully crafted from purified natural resin and bound into a transparent paint with soft glow and a glassy sheen. It produces a soft, warm red—slightly leaning orange in dilution—ideal for magical illustrations, illuminated manuscripts, ritual art, and expressive work. Though visually stunning, it is delicate: this pigment is fugitive and best suited for protected, archival, or reproduction-based pieces.
