Nickel Antimony Titanium Yellow Watercolor Ink

Description

Nickel Antimony Titanium Yellow 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.

In use, Nickel Antimony Titanium Yellow gives a controlled, elegant yellow ideal for sunlight in hazy skies, foliage highlights, stone, architecture, portrait work, and subtle landscape passages. It has low to moderate tinting strength and a semi-opaque to opaque character, which makes it excellent for quiet tints, veil like glazes, and controlled lightening of other colors without overpowering them. It mixes beautifully with blues and blue greens for soft, natural greens, with earths for gentle ochres and limestone like neutrals, and with reds and violets for delicate, muted oranges and skin tones that remain refined rather than brash.
