Sorghum Lake Watercolor Ink

Description

Sorghum Lake 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, Sorghum Lake gives a delicate, expressive brown ideal for botanicals, textiles, leather, aged paper effects, portraits, and atmospheric landscape work. It has low to moderate tinting strength and a transparent to semi-transparent character, building smoothly from pale, tea-like stains to richer layers without becoming chalky. It mixes beautifully with yellows for golden tans and wheat tones, with reds and pinks for natural skin hues and rose-browns, and with blues and blue-greens for subdued neutrals and ink-like browns that retain a quiet, underlying warmth. As a natural lake based on an organic dye, it is best reserved for work kept out of direct sunlight or digitized for long-term preservation.
