Artist Inks & Liquid Colour
Artist Inks and Liquid Colour offer intense pigmentation, fluid movement and expressive mark-making for contemporary and experimental artwork. This category brings together high-quality inks designed for pouring, layering, line work and spontaneous creative techniques.
Fluid colour for expressive techniques
Unlike traditional paints, artist inks are highly fluid and richly pigmented, allowing colour to flow, blend and interact organically. They’re ideal for artists exploring movement, transparency and depth, whether through controlled application or free-flowing, intuitive processes.
