True Indian Yellow

Description

True Indian Yellow 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 and a small amount of all natural, pure gum arabic to achieve an exceptionally vibrant and richly pigmented liquid.

True Indian Yellow Watercolor Ink is a brilliant, golden yellow made using the historical method of collecting and purifying calcium and magnesium euxanthate derived from the urine of cows fed on mango leaves. This rare and historically authentic pigment produces a glowing, transparent yellow with remarkable warmth and fluidity. Its unique origin and unmatched radiance make it ideal for glazing, botanical illumination, and classical layering techniques. True Indian Yellow delivers the unmistakable depth and luminosity that once defined masterworks of the Mughal and European traditions.
