Red Ochre Watercolor Ink

Description

Red Ochre 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.

Red Ochre Watercolor Ink is a warm, earthy red from the timeless beauty of natural red ochre extracted from traditional French clay deposits. This ink delivers a deeply saturated, earthy tone with a naturally organic character reminiscent of historic manuscript illumination and classical artistry. Its smooth, fluid consistency and excellent lightfastness make it ideal for expressive brushwork, detailed calligraphy, and atmospheric washes. Perfect for artists seeking historical authenticity and earthy vibrancy, Red Ochre Watercolor Ink infuses your creative work with a warm, enduring quality.
