Victoria Green Watercolor Ink

Description

Victoria Green 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, Victoria Green gives a controlled, elegant green ideal for evergreen foliage, conifers, cool landscapes, patinated metal, stone, and architectural shadows. It has moderate to strong tinting strength with a semi-opaque to opaque character, allowing solid passages of color while still offering beautifully modulated veils in thinner applications. It mixes beautifully with yellows for a wide range of natural foliage greens, with blues for deep blue greens and forest tones, and with earth pigments and violets for sophisticated neutrals, cool shadows, and weathered, atmospheric mixes that stay clear rather than muddy.
