YInMn Blue Watercolor Ink

Description

YInMn Blue 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 watercolor, YInMn Blue produces vivid, clean washes with strong opacity and minimal granulation. In egg tempera, oil, and acrylic painting, it offers dense, striking coverage and retains its luminosity even when mixed with other pigments. YInMn Blue is highly valued by artists seeking a brilliant, long lasting blue that does not fade, darken, or react chemically with other materials.
