Mineral Wash Inks are pigment-based, mineral-wash inks created through years of ceramics-inspired experimentation. They dry matte and velvety with a subtle tooth—making them a perfect base layer for mixed media and a beautiful ink-wash for painting and swatching.
This release features the Luminous Winter Botanicals seasonal palette: winter greens, grounded neutrals, and soft botanical tones with that quiet glow.

INK + WAX REMIX LAB: Winter Landscapes
Live Workshop + Unlimited CLASS Lifetime Replay
Step into a moody, earthy LIVE studio session where Mineral Wash Inks + heat-activated wax come together for rich layers, dreamy texture, and remixable color stories. In this lab-style workshop, I’ll show you how I build Winter Landscapes pages—starting with pigment-rich ink washes for atmosphere, then layering in wax for resist, warmth, and depth. Whether you have a heated plate or prefer no-heat techniques, you’ll leave with clear pathways to start creating immediately.
What you’ll learn (and make)
- 3 pathways (choose your adventure):
- No-heat: ink washes + wax resist / dry wax ground
- Melt + brush-paint: warm wax layers painted onto paper
- Heated plate play: monoprint pulls + ghost prints + texture builds
- A simple Winter Landscapes layering plan (inks + wax for moody depth)
- Troubleshooting + Q&A: temps, paper choices, smudging, sealing, and storage

What makes these inks different
-
Matte + velvety finish (no shine—soft, mineral depth)
-
Pigment-based for an archival-minded approach
- A gentle mineral tooth that supports layering with water-soluble tools
- Designed to pair beautifully with Pigment Bars (wax paint) and mixed media techniques
- Handcrafted in small batches for artists who love expressive, atmospheric washes
How to use Mineral Wash Inks
Use them straight from the bottle for a rich mineral veil, or dilute with water for softer washes and gradients.
Great for:
- Sketchbook underpaintings + backgrounds
- Swatching + color studies
- Collage layers + stamping foundations
- Brush painting, splatter, and mark-making tools
- Layering with water-soluble media (watercolor pencils, crayons, etc.)
Gently swirl before each use: Because these inks are mineral-rich and pigment-based, a little natural settling is expected. A gentle swirl (or a light roll between your hands) brings everything back into suspension—no vigorous shaking needed.
Neutral Base Mixer (Matte Mixing Companion)
Included in this box is a Neutral Base—a mineral-based mixing ink designed to help you create custom colors while keeping that signature matte, velvety finish. Use it to extend your palette or soften tones, and experiment by mixing it with:
- Handcrafted watercolors
- Watermedia inks
- Water-soluble pencils
- Fluid acrylic paint
It’s an easy way to build a full range of muted tints, foggy pastels, and earthy variations that still dry down matte and mixed-media friendly.
