How to use: dissolve the colour chips in clean warm water. Then it is ready for use.
Feature: natural colour extracted from plant. The chips include sap already. The colour is very fine and pure. Colour is profound and endurable.
Storage: keep it in dry, clean, and dark place. The longer the colour is preserved, the better the quality becomes.
Special Note: colour is extracted from Indigofera plant leaves and later processed with calcium. This is also widely used in Chinese medication. The colour is easy to dissolve in water compared with mineral colours. Resin is added in the pigment already. If you want to reduce the resin percentage, you can use clean warm water to water the chips quickly and then dissolve the indigo chips in warm clean water.

Materials
Indigo 花青 Huā qīng Indigo blue plant colour from the plant Indigofera tinctoria (true indigo) or related species, cultivated in Asia since antiquity and also traded on the Silk road.
A very opaque pale green, a little lighter and softer than a tube of mineral green paint I have. It activates slower than the plant-based colors, but it’s still easy to get a rich color from a small amount of chips, and use the same chips repeatedly.
I was surprised at how vibrant a yellow this is. On its own it almost seems to glow. It also mixes with indigo to make a range of really beautiful natural-looking greens.
Really nice set! I am already using the larger set, but using this for my “Plein Air” Sumi-e landscapes when out and about. Great color selection and highly recommended!
My first encounter with gamboge… I cannot compare this yellow to anything I have seen before. The paint chip itself dissolves easily, allowing a couple drop of water on the paint resulted in an intensive colour. When applying on a layer of darker (曙红) petal to paint the stamen it doesn’t cover to well, so it’s worth to leave a free spot for that part if possible.
Comme je l ai noté dès l’arrivée. Bien reçu le mortier et le pilon. J’ai pu le tester avec les pigments rouge cinabre reçus le même jour
Le mortier et le pilon sont vraiment bien conçus avec les fonds râpeux qui permettent un bon broyage. Le bec verseur est très pratique
Je pense en recommander à l’avenir
Très bien arrivé et toujours aussi bien emballé
J ai pu tester le mortier et le pilon reçu le même jour, très bien conçu pour le broyage et apprécier cette superbe couleur cinabre
Gran calidad de estos pigmentos que se disuelven en agua templada. Ideal para dejar hecho en recipiente de cerámica y utilizar a conveniencia. Los tonos son profundos. Muy buena presentación en vidrio y muy buen empaquetado y embalaje. Llegó todo perfecto. Gracias por vuestra profesionalidad
Las doce botellitas de pigmentos en realidad se pueden transformar en infinitos tonos si se mezclan con mimo y paciencia entre si. He conseguido una paleta con mas de 30 nuevos tonos realmente bonitos.
Muy satisfecho con el producto, la presentación, el rendimiento del mismo, y sobre todo, la filosofía que encierra todo ello.
Pura alquimia. Un placer para los 5 sentidos.
Para regalo, el asombro está asegurado. Para uso propio…el deleite idem de idem.
Incluso compraré botellitas sueltas de ciertos colores. Toda una ventaja.
Gracias a INKSTON. ¡¡¡¡
Muy contento con estos pigmentos. Tonos suaves, transparentes y agradables. Se disuelven bien en agua destilada templada. Buena presentación en tarritos de vidrio con tapa hermética.
