Potter's Pink Watercolor Ink

Description

Potter's Pink 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, Potter's Pink behaves as a semi-transparent pigment with moderate tinting strength and a distinctive granulating texture. It lends itself beautifully to glazing, layering, and botanical illustration where quiet, nuanced pinks are preferred over high chroma modern magentas.
