Description

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.

This ink delivers a beautifully saturated, radiant tone with a naturally organic character of classical frescoes and aged manuscripts.

Perfect for artists seeking historical authenticity and organic brilliance, Yellow Ochre Watercolor Ink imbues your work with a timeless, natural warmth.
