Quinacridone Crimson Watercolor Ink

Description

Quinacridone Crimson 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, Quinacridone Crimson gives a luminous, transparent red ideal for florals, sunsets, warm shadows, textiles, glazes over earth reds, and nuanced work in portrait and figure painting. It has strong tinting strength with a transparent to semi-transparent character, making it excellent for glazing, layered washes, and optical mixing. It mixes beautifully with yellows for glowing scarlets and warm oranges, with blues for deep wine reds, violets, and near-neutrals, and with earth colors to create sophisticated, rosy browns and shadow tones that stay clear rather than muddy.
