Green Spirulina Watercolor Ink

Description

Green Spirulina 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 only pure distilled water, raw honey, and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally vibrant and richly pigmented liquid.

In use, Green Spirulina gives a gentle, expressive green ideal for sketchbooks, botanical studies, illustration, mixed media, eco-focused art, and experimental work where permanence is not the primary concern. It has moderate tinting strength, is somewhat staining, and generally non-granulating, making it well suited to fluid washes, ink-style line work, and layered veils of color. It mixes beautifully with yellows and warm earths for mossy olives and dried-leaf tones, with blues for firmer forest greens, and with reds and violets for muted browns and shadow neutrals‚ but all such mixtures share the fugitive nature of the base color. Because this is a natural, food-adjacent colorant based largely on chlorophyll, it is sensitive to light, heat, and pH and is not recommended for archival work or pieces intended for long-term display in strong light.
