Very helpful and surprising that such a warm hue can go down to such a cool lemon yellow. Thank you for sharing a color lesson with those of us learning on our own.
Indian yellow hue is my favourite yellow, also. It's wonderful by itself, as a transparent glaze, and it gives excellent bright yellows when mixed with white as you demonstrated ( sometimes , for further variation, I mix it with lithopone white for more semi- opaque intense result). It mixes also greatly with permanent rose ( resulting in a quinacridone gold hue) and green gold or sap green..
Thanks so much for the video. DIdn't realize that Indian Yellow was so versatile. What do you use to tone and shade yellow? I'm trying to use complimentary violet but not having much luck.
Indian Yellow is a transparent colour. How would that effect mixing futher with say a colour that is more opaque? Especially in portraits. Also, a lead white lets the colours keep their warmth, also an advantage in portrait painting I would guess
Indian Yellow obviously looses its transparency when mixed with a color that's more opaque, dependent on how much is added. Since what I'm demonstrating here is that Indian Yellow can be used as a substitute for Cad Yellows and Lemon Yellow when mixed with different amounts of white, the mixtures are opaque and can be used in the same way you'd use those colors in portrait painting or any other subject. I never use Lead White. It's a heavy metal that I've eliminated from my studio for safety and environmental reasons.
As long as people use them correctly, cadmiums and other heavy metals can be safe to use. I find it kind of funny when people take steps to reduce "toxicity" in their studios, presumably for health reasons, yet they don't take more important measures to protect their health long term - such as: strength training, cardio workouts, healthy sleep, healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and sugar, wearing sunscreen, etc. I'm not saying this is you because I've never seen your videos before and I know nothing about you...I'm just making a general observation...like for example the irony of a plein air painter who doesn't use cadmiums but stands outside in the sun for hours without sunscreen while sipping on a starbucks latte with 50 grams of sugar in it...and I think...yeah good thing you don't have any cadmiums around, lol. So the point being that for anyone who is so health conscious that they refuse to use paints with heavy metals, I hope they're also taking extensive measures to be healthy in every aspect of their life.
I have everything but Indian yellow, & that's what I need!
Really beautiful colors... who needs the expensive cadmium yellow.
this is an Epic and valuable vid. Thank you sooooo much.
Very helpful! Thank you!😊
Awesomeness Ms.Mary thank you

Wow...thank you! invaluable!
Thank you for the detail you go into Mary, for me going into the science of paint is so helpful to my art.
I’m so glad it’s helpful.
Enjoyed this video. Have often wondered about Indian yellow. Thank you.

…most slept on pigment in the art world
Thank you so helpful!

Took the words right out of my mouth!

People don't realize that many paints are radioactive
So are bananas….
