Viridian Green Watercolor Watercolor Ink

Description

Viridian 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.

Viridian Watercolor Ink is a cool, mineral green made from genuine hydrated chromium oxide. Used by artists since the 19th century, this pigment offers a smooth, deep green with subtle blue undertones, excellent lightfastness, and a natural granulating texture. It is ideal for foliage, botanical studies, atmospheric washes, and classical layering techniques. Viridian brings clarity, refinement, and permanence to any watercolor ink collection.
