Naples Yellows - Vicki Norman compares Michael Harding's three shades of Naples Yellow oil paints

[@masterpainters1706]

Hiya. Lovely to see you back again. I really love the genuine Naples yellows and recommend anyone giving them a go. Of course people will say they are unnecessary and you can mix something similar from whatever colours you usually use. I think this misses the point, I personally find that you can have a unique creative experience when trying pigments outside of your standard palette. Also it's fun. I would like to make a comment on the Naples yellow alternative, py24 if I remember. I think it's a shame that Michael called this Naples yellow as I think it may make people pass over it and thinking its just a hue or something so not worth trying. In fact the Naples yellow none genuine is a lovely single pigment paint and in my opinion should have a name of its own rather than being labelled as a fake Naples yellow. Maybe something like antinomy brown. I think it's under selling what is in fact a really lovely pigment by making it look like other manufacturers Naples hues. Hope that makes sense lol

Yes, you're right the Naples yellow is a really great pigment on it's own - I'll pass your feedback onto MH himself...

The 'Naples Yellow' is pbr24 (according to Jacksonart Michael Harding color chart pull-down) ... so a brown, but it fits so perfectly in this scrumptious trifecta. Lovely, just wonderful. I want all three and those you had to the left. This video opens a door to some very fine art. Thanks. Great pigments make me happy.

Thanks mrs Vicky norman

Perfect! Just in time to paint dry grass and reeds , in winter sunlight, by the sea 💕

[@VickiNorman]

Sounds lovely!

[@powercourageandwisdom]

Amazing colors. I agree that these are very usable colors. I would like to keep a small tube of each on hand in my studio. I could see a lot of uses.

[@robhead22]

Great! I love naples yellow!!

[@fredriklundblad4788]

Thank you. Please more.

[@kathylentz2468]

Very nicely done. I saw skin colors in light and shadow while on the beach! Thank you.

[@VickiNorman]

Thank you and yaaay, so glad the course was helpful! X

[@duckingtonedits2369]

Every video she does that uses series 6 and 7 pigments just proves that the old masters had it figured out. That vermilion and naples mix was pure magic.

[@ThisisRubbishlo]

I can see Manet in these colours, a journey of discovery every one of those mixes

Hi Vicky! First of all: love your videos! I was wondering: how do you get in the EU (f.e. painting in France or Italy) when colours like the genuine naples yellow are forbidden (meaning: you can’t buy them here because of the lead). So do you have any problems at the airport bringing those colours here?

[@ulutiu]

Here in Poland you only can't buy Flake White (or any paint containing PW1) in tubes. PW1 in cans is perfectly fine. In case of other lead-based paints such as Naples Yellow or Lead-Tin Yellow you can buy tubes without any problem. Well, the only problem is steep price.

[@romibodoni]

@@ulutiu Thanks for your tip! If I can't order from a Polish shop directly I'll ask my family over there to get it for me :)

[@troyingram716]

If I mix liquitex burnt sienna with cadmium yellow can I call it Naples yellow? I saw somebody do it with raw sienna.

[@Scopsel]

I'm curious to hear your opinion on safety practices while using paints like genuine naples yellow and chinese vermilion? I see you aren't wearing gloves; what are the precautions you take working with lead, antimony, and mercury based paints?

[@miJ007]

How is it that you became an ambassador vicki?

[@ubergeraldine]

At £40 for 40ml I don't think my painting is good enough yet for Naples yellow light!!!

[@ubergeraldine]

Loving the tour of MH paints but some of the words just don't match what I see!

[@VickiNorman]

The appearance of colours can vary widely from one screen to another, I use 2 screens when I edit and it always amazes me how different the colours look from one screen to the other! There's very little we can do to mitigate this I'm afraid

[@paweyyy3338]

ehh... mixing the genuine Neapolitan yellow with titanium white is a real misalliance 🤕

The good things are expensive, hughg, haaha
