Description

Terre Verte 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.

Terre Verte Watercolor Ink is a cool, pastel green showcasing the timeless beauty of natural green ochre extracted from traditional French clay deposits. This ink delivers a beautifully saturated, naturally organic green tone with a refined texture from historic manuscript illumination and classical artworks. Its smooth, fluid consistency and excellent lightfastness make it ideal for detailed brushwork, expressive washes, and intricate calligraphy. Perfect for artists seeking historical authenticity and organic vibrancy, Terre Verte Watercolor Ink brings a timeless quality and natural elegance to every creative endeavor.
