Manganese Violet Watercolor Ink

Description

Manganese Violet 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.

Manganese Violet Watercolor Ink is a rich, delicate violet made from genuine manganese ammonium pyrophosphate. First developed in the 19th century, this mineral pigment produces a soft, cool purple with a slight rose undertone and beautiful transparency. With smooth flow and fine granulation, Manganese Violet is perfect for botanical studies, atmospheric washes, layered glazes, and expressive line work. Its subtlety and clarity make it a favorite for naturalistic and classical work alike.
