Potter's Red Watercolor Ink

Description

Potter's Red 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, raw honey, and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally vibrant and richly pigmented liquid.

In use, Potter's Red gives a subtle, atmospheric red ideal for florals, weathered brick, terracotta, dried leaves, textiles, and gentle shadows in both landscape and figurative work. It has low to moderate tinting strength with a semi-opaque, strongly granulating character, making it especially beautiful in textured washes and layered passages. It mixes beautifully with yellows for dusty peaches and muted earth oranges, with violets and roses for delicate mauves and rose-violets, and with blues and earth pigments for sophisticated, smoky neutrals and shadow tones that stay soft rather than harsh.
