Description

Madder 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.

Madder Watercolor Ink is a warm, deep red derived from the genuine extraction of natural madder dye from Rubia tinctoria, a time honored source used in historic art. This ink delivers a beautifully saturated, radiant tone with a naturally organic character, featuring the rich reds seen in classical manuscripts and traditional textiles. Its smooth, fluid consistency and subtle granulation make it ideal for expressive brushwork, refined calligraphy, and delicate washes. Perfect for artists who value historical authenticity and the natural beauty of organic pigments, Madder Watercolor Ink brings a captivating, timeless quality to your creative work.
