Zinc Ferrite Yellow Watercolor Ink

Description

Zinc Ferrite Yellow 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 use, Zinc Ferrite Yellow gives a controlled, versatile yellow ideal for sunlit stone, architecture, dried grasses, earth, foliage highlights, portraits, and atmospheric landscape work. It has low to moderate tinting strength with a semi-opaque to semi-transparent character, making it excellent for quiet tints, glazing over earth reds and browns, and gently warming mixtures without overwhelming them. It mixes beautifully with blues and green leaning colors for soft, natural greens, with reds and earths for a wide range of ochres, siennas, and honeyed browns, and with neutrals and blacks for subtle, golden grays that stay clear rather than muddy.
