Yellow Oil Paint

First time commenter, long-time fan! Cadmium first entered the art market in the early twentieth century; therefore the old masters, including Sargent for much of his career, painted without cadmium. I do agree that the toxicity to the individual has been overblown considerably, but it remains toxic to the environment. If artists clean their brushes with soap and water, then cadmium could go down the drain. Some cities recycle their waste water and heavy metals are difficult to remove from waste water; thus the cadmium you wash from your brush today enters your drinking water tomorrow. If the waste water is not recycled, then it must go somewhere and can damage the environment. It is the environment and public health that should be considered when choosing and, perhaps more importantly, using colors. Cadmium can be safely used, for both the painter and environment, if a few common sense precautions are taken. I love your videos and all the great information you provide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I agree with you on the Cadmium being safe as long as you use some common sense. I just haven't found anything that replaces them. Cadmiums as pigments were actually in use by the 1870s. The Impressionists used them and Cadmium Yellow was one of Van Gogh's favorite colors, but he could rarely afford it. :)

[@ulutiu]

@Cori Atalanta hope this clears things a little. "Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer. Oil colors were first made from Cadmium Yellow pigments in 1819, replacing toxic Chrome (lead) Yellows. However, their production was delayed until 1840 due to the scarcity of cadmium metals." "Cadmium Red was not introduced until 1907 in Germany."

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the additional info! I actually find the history of pigments to be a fascinating subject.

[@vaderetro264]

Cori Atalanta I've heard from Mark Carder (a trustworty source, in my experience) that today's cadmiums are much less toxic, if toxic at all, compared to those of older generation.

[@fionarodricks5677]

The Williamsburg Cad Yellow Lemon tube here is $80 hoops for the 150ml. on Dickblick. and $30 for the 37ml. tube. I was thinking of buying Rembrandt, which is still around $20 for a 37ml. tube. I've been using Winsor Newton Winton and Grumbacher Pre-Tested, which I can find for around the $10 to $12 range in the 37 ml. tubes. When it comes to Cad Lemon and Cad Yellow Deep is Rembrandt that much better when it comes to actual brightness and opacity than Winton and Grumbacher? Also, if you went to an even more expensive Williamsburg is the brightness, opacity that much better than less expensive brands? The video here shows Williamsburg as very bright, but it's always impossible to tell from a video.

[@tarquinmidwinter2056]

Nice video, Jason. I have a tube of van Gogh Indian Yellow (Made by Royal Talens here in Apeldoorn, but much cheaper than their Rembrandt range!) I bought it as I'd heard it was great for glazing, which indeed it is, but I hadn't thought of mixing it with white in the way that you do. This really does make a gorgeous colour.

You’ve referred to a particular yellow and I’m not sure of the spelling. Airolite yellow? Or Auroite Yellow? It’s not in this video. But you’ve mentioned it before. Who makes it? Where can I see a color swatch? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’ve learned so much.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) The yellow I refer to is Arylide Yellow, aka Hansa Yellow. The Arylides are a family of different pigments comprised of similar chemical structures. The most common one is PY3 which most brands call "Lemon Yellow".

Enjoyed both this video and your “Weird and Obsolete Pigments” however, I’m now confused though about Indian Yellow. Here you speak of it’s ability to evoke atmospheric effects and works well in a glaze. In the other video you suggest we avoid. I’ve been using MH for it’s transparent qualities and was looking forward to playing with it mixed with black based on this video 🤷🏻‍♀️did I miss something?

[@walcottfineart5088]

The Michael Harding Indian Yellow is good to use! It's made form modern pigments that are permanent. The original true Indian Yellow of long ago was supposedly made from cow pee. That's never been proven but it wasn't permanent and tended to fade. Hope that clears up the confusion! Thanks for watching :)

[@walcottfineart5088]

That would be tough to do! You can imitate the mass tone of Green Gold, but it won't have that same translucency and tend toward yellow as you thin it. The two combinations that would probably get you closest are Cadmium Yellow Light with Ivory Black or Cadmium Yellow Deep with Phthalo Green. Thanks for watching!

I have heard of the bismuth yellow but have not tried it in oil paint. i did try it in watercolor and i's not quite as intense as the Cadmium. You can always get a small tube and see if it works for you. There's nothing like Cadmiums though, so I'm sticking with that. :) Thanks for watching!

[@user-hc7fi1od4d]

Very useful information! Can I ask you a question? Surely you have a lot of experience, please advise the paint that can be used directly from the tube, with minimal mixing with mediums. That is, the paint is as similar in consistency as possible to Daler Georgian. It suits me best. It reminds me of a cream that doesn't run off the canvas and can easily be mixed with a stiff brush. it can also be compared to shaving foam, but still denser. Maimeri Classico I find too oily and quite dense and thick. It is also desirable that the paint has a shine after drying. What other paints have a consistency similar to Georgian?

[@walcottfineart5088]

That's a tough question to answer actually! It's been so long since I used Georgian oils, but I do remember them being quite soft and easy to brush out. Most oil paint brands will have some variation in consistency between colors which is due to the chemical properties of the various pigments. The most consistent one I know of that seems to match what you are looking for is Rembrandt oils (Made by Royal Talens) which have a unique sort of dense-but-fluffy texture. Similar to the shaving cream you mentioned. They are very easy to brush out but not quite as soft as the Georgian. Maybe you want to try one or two tubes and see if you like them. Thanks for watching! :)

[@user-hc7fi1od4d]

Hi Jason excellent video .. 2 quick questions are the diarylide yellows the same as the Hansa yellows? And is lead tin yellow the same as the genuine Naples yellow? Thank uuuuuuu 😃

[@walcottfineart5088]

No, Lead Tin Yellow is a different pigment from Naples Yellow, but the two are very similar and behave in very similar ways. I usually use the Lead Tin becuase it's less expensive and you still get the benefits of a lead yellow. Hansa and Diarylide yellows again are closely related but not exact duplicates. They are in the same chemical family.

Hi Jason, What is the difference between Cadmium and permanent yellow, can you please explain a little about them and what the best to use in painting. Another question, I have thrown all old paint and now want to buy new and start over after many years of health issues.. What colors should I buy and because I want to paint without solvent, then what colors are the most soft? Thanks a lot!!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! The difference betwen those two yellows is just the pigment they are made from. Cadmium Yellow (the genuine color) contains Cadmium Sulfide which is a bright yellow pigment. Permanent Yellow is just a name for usually Hansa Yellow or Diarylide Yellow. Cadmiums are very opaque as have a good tinting strength. Permanent Yellow would be better for glazing or transparent techniques. I prefer the Cadmiums myself as they just have a pleasing quality to them. You can paint with oils without solvents. Using plain walnut oil or linseed oil as a medium is fine, juts don't use too much. A good basic limited list of colors to start with would be Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red Light, Quinacridone (Permanent) Rose, Phthalo Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber and White. That gives you a warm and cool version of each primary as well as a couple of handy earth colors. You could also add in Yellow Ochre if you wanted. Thanks!

[@פרחיהמזרחי]

[@walcottfineart5088]

Yes, PY74 is sometimes called Hansa Yellow. It's pretty common. I dont' know specific brands, but if you look at a tube of paint it will tell which pigment it contains. This color is often sold as "Permanent Yellow" or a similar name. Thanks for watching! :)

[@GemukiDev]

Thanks for the video! How does that Naples yellow compare to Nickel titanium yellow py53 which also is very light and opaque?

[@walcottfineart5088]

The Nickel Titanium is more of a saturated yellow, I believe. It's also not a strong tinter. Thanks for watching!

[@fionarodricks5677]

Thanks for sharing, which yellow is the closest substitute for cad yellow light.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Cadmium colors are really hard to mimic. You can get the color but not the handling qualities and opacity. The closest would probably be Hansa Yellow Light or Winsor Yellow.

[@HarelJann]

This Indian yellow is truly unique, when white is added to it how does it compares to opaque yellow like cadmium in terms of saturation? Anyway your videos and examples are very educational, Thank you!!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching! The Indian Yellow is more of a golden color than the Cadmiums when mixed with white. However mixing it with the white does reduce the saturation a bit. If you are looking for a single pigment intense yellow, then Cadmium is your guy. The Indian Yellow is also great for glazing because it is very transparent.

[@HarelJann]

Thank you for the explanation! Yeah, it makes scene that something will be lost when adding white compared to full chroma cadmium yellow. Yet it's weird how saturated it became after white was added.

Hello again Jason, I have just finished watching your presentation on Yellow pigments and what a huge help it is. I have been painting for a long time and yet every time I stop by to watch your tutorials I always without fail learn something new. After taking a look at your video I thought that I might like to try the lead tin yellow and went looked around for a single pigment variety. I quickly discovered that the Old Holland is a dual pigment and contains titanium white. Vasari and Michael Harding are single pigment paints both only containing P41 and oil. I haven't yet checked out Rubelev, Blue Ridge Paints, or Williamsburg. You were absolutely right about the expense as Vasari comes out close to $60 USD exc. P&P. THE COLOR AND PIGMENT DATABASE I did check the pigment details at the following site that might help you or your viewers with additional pigment information. You can find it here or type in the color and pigment database to your search engine: www.artiscreation.com/yellow.html#.WEpffOkbR01 Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for a great comment Becky! Yes, as far as I know only Rublev and Michael Harding carry the genuine Lead Tin yellow single pigment. Vasari and Michael Harding carry the genuine Naples Yellow which is similar. The Old Holland is probably a "hue" which basically means imitation. That sticker shock is the thing to get over! LOL

Thank you Jason for taking time out of your busy day to stop by. Thank also for the information on the paint. Did you know that Lead Tin Yellow can darken when exposed to certain gasses? I saw something mentioned on the link I had in my comment. As always looking forward to your next tutorial.

Hi Jason! I love this color series videos....very useful. Did you use lead or titanium white fod lightening colors in this series? I watched your videos on whites but I do not remember if the lead white warms up colors when added and the titanium makes them cooler or it id the other way round.....(apart from the titanium being stronger). Thanks!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for watching and for the nice comment! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. I am using Titanium White for my demos, which is the cooler one. Lead Whites are warmer. :)

@@walcottfineart5088they super helpful. The True Primaries video kind of shattered what i previously understood. Can u ask whose Cobalt Teal you use? As well which yellow.. My guess was Cadmium Lemon By Williamsburg that i saw in Yellows video. I really glad i found your channel! I enjoy the videos tremendously :)

[@walcottfineart5088]

@@ytmm11 Honestly I don't remember the brand of yellow but yes it was Cadmium Lemon. The Cobalt Teal was most likely Gamblin. :)
