Ultramarine Violet Watercolor Ink

Description

Ultramarine Violet 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.

In use, Ultramarine Violet gives a delicate, transparent to semi-transparent color ideal for florals, distant hills, twilight skies, reflective shadows, and subtle atmospheric passages in both landscape and figurative work. It has low to moderate tinting strength and often a lightly granulating character (especially in watercolor), making it excellent for layered washes, veil like glazes, and soft transitions. It mixes beautifully with blues for gentle blue violets and cool shadows, with earths for muted mauves and lavender grays, and with warm reds and pinks for refined, rose violet tones that stay understated rather than overpowering.
