Verdigris Fine Watercolor Ink

Description

Verdigris 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.

Verdigris Watercolor Ink is a luminous, captivating green-blue inspired by the natural patina that forms on copper through oxidation—specifically, copper acetate. This historic pigment delivers a uniquely radiant tone with a naturally organic character, showcasing the patina of time-worn copper artifacts and aged architectural details. Its smooth, fluid consistency and subtle transparency make it ideal for expressive brushwork, intricate calligraphy, and atmospheric washes. Perfect for artists seeking a blend of historical authenticity and modern vibrancy, Verdigris Watercolor Ink infuses your work with a timeless, enchanting quality.
