Praseodymium Yellow Watercolor Ink

Description

Praseodymium 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, Praseodymium Yellow gives a controlled yet lively yellow ideal for bright foliage, sunlight, florals, citrus, highlights in landscape work, and clear mixing on contemporary and historical palettes alike. It has moderate tinting strength with a semi-opaque character, allowing it to cover confidently in masstone while still producing luminous, veil like layers in thinner applications. It mixes beautifully with blues for a wide range of fresh, natural to high chroma greens, with earths for clear, golden ochres and warm stone hues, and with reds, oranges, and violets for vibrant skin tones, glowing neutrals, and subtly warmed shadows that stay clean rather than muddy.
