Quinacridone Red Watercolor Ink

Description

Quinacridone 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, Quinacridone Red gives a luminous, transparent red ideal for florals, twilight skies, textiles, shadows, and expressive passages in both landscape and abstract work. 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 blues for intense violets and inky near-blacks, with magentas and reds for wine tones and deep pinks, and with earth colors to create sophisticated plum, aubergine, and smoky neutral shadows that stay clear rather than muddy.
