Lac Magenta Watercolor Ink

Description

Lac 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 and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally vibrant and richly pigmented liquid.

This ink delivers a deeply saturated, radiant hue with an authentically organic character. Its smooth, fluid consistency and subtle transparency make it ideal for dynamic brushwork, graceful calligraphy, and expressive washes.
