You are by far, the best at explaining the differences in colors, & color mixing, Rewatching this to refresh my memories on some of the differences. Your videos are a pleasure to watch 😊
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.
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. :)
@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."
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.
I do have a chrome yellow in the local oil colour kit that I have purchased sometime back..I am guessing it is lead based too. Where does it sit on the cad yellow spectrum?
Even though this video is going on 3 yrs old now, I just found it & what a great tutorial this is on the various yellows. I've been painting for years but there's always something new to learn. You really did a great job explaining the differences, etc. Thank you. ☺
Didn't thought I was going to sit and watch the whole video... and before I knew it, I had already finished it. It was sooooooo interesting. Thank you!
Love your vids Jason. I have been painting for many years but always willing to listen and learn more. Wow, Indian Yellow it is my favourite, it zings!!!
I did stumble upon you and your information about paints, and am so glad I did; this is just what I was needing even though I had not become aware of that need yet.
This was a really cool breakdown of some great mixing yellows! Strange to see Genuine Naples Yellow in this for sure especially considering how much historic color shift there is with that color.
Very nice demo with yellows. As always you make great videos! Thanks so much for the information. Good to know the different types of yellows. Love the description of each individual color. Take care and be safe.
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.
I mix yellow ochre with burnt umber to make chocolate. It also mixes a unique pink color with magenta. Also, Naples yellow is beautiful. I have it as a copic marker and I adore it. Wonderful video. I love seeing how the primaries mix with other pigments
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. Thanks for the tip.
As a professional fine artist, I suggest you use a rag to remove the paint for the neck of your tubes to keep them from getting stuck so you have to ring the neck of the tube the next time. Nice video on the yellow and yellow mixing.
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.
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".
My favourite yellow is Naples Yellow. Brings marvellous skin tone. I use the brand Senneliers and its not genuine Naples Yellow. It has PW4 PW6 PY2 PY72 mixture. No PY41
Yes Naples Yellow is a great color! The genuine stuff is very expensive, so not everyone will want to spend the money on it. I haven't used the Sennelier so I'm glad you shared that info! Thanks for watching. :)
Cad. Yellow Medium and deep are decidedly more toward red, which could be problematic when mixing vibrant greens. But the resulting greens would make interesting grays.
Hi Jason, you mention that the pigment colors are standardized. Is that true for watercolors as well? Thanks and I'm looking forward to your studio safety video.
Yes, the medium doesn't matter! All pigments used for paints are the same. Only the vehicle makes them different types of paint. The same pigments used to make oils are used in watercolor, pastel, acrylic, etc... :)
Walcott Fine Art . Thanks for such a quick response. While I'm not working with oils I find your videos interesting and very informative. Thanks again. Carmen 🙂
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!
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.
Great video Jason! Is yellow lake or Scarlet lake worth buying? I saw Micheal Harding selling lake colours, not sure they are as good as cadmium yellow or red. Thanks.
Do you know if nickel titanate (titanium yellow), bismuth vanadate (bismuth yellow) or aureolin (cobalt yellow) are available for oil colors? I use acrylics and watercolors and know of these three yellows, they're not that common but they have moderately high tinting strengths.
I love so much- thank you❣️ I wonder how to paint yellow moderate hortense? I can paint blue and violet but yellow is so difficult. Would you like to show it.Greetings from Finland, Maija🤗
Thank you for the nice comment and for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :) I'm not quite sure what you were asking about the yellow though. Can you clarify your question?
Not neccessarily... You can glaze with an opaque color if you thin it down enough, but it will create a "smoky" look. Techincally this is called scumbling and can have useful effects. Thanks for watching!
Dear jason i can afford only one cadmium,i think i should buy cad lemon and i can always warm it up to cad yellow med and deep,am i right,please also tell me which company makes the best cad lemon,which is your favourite
Thanks for watching! Yes you can start with Cadmim Lemon and make it warmer by adding red or orange. Rublev is my favorite/best brand, but they are pretty expensive. If you're on a budget but want a really good paint, try either Lukas 1862 or Utrecht.
Hi, Jason. I am painting a sunflower. But my yellows are so garish to bright. How can I together down to look more natural this video on the yellows was fab. Plus well explained, thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm not quite sure what you're asking? Chrome Yellow is a harder to find color these days, but you could use it as a yellow on your palette. Just be aware that it's not as permanent as Cadmium Yellow. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your demonstration. Have you tried Michael Harding Lemon Yellow, the one of Barium Cromate that its poison, and extremely bright and acidic. I order it by mistake thinking it was Cadmium Lemon Yellow, and now I don't know if I should use it 😅
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! :)
Thanks for watching! Lead Tin Yellow is a great color! I should have included here...not sure why I didn't. You can use it more or less interchangeably with genuine Naples Yellow. It has many of the same qualities and will give backgrounds that same "airy" look...plus it's less expensive! Rublev is my favorite Lead Tin Yellow, but Harding makes it too. :)
Yes, it should work pretty well although a lemon yellow would be slightly better. Either way you should be OK. Just don't use a yellow that's too orangey. Thanks for watching!
I read a review that said "Williamsburg paints have a tendency to be more grainy than other paints". Did you find it the case with the Cadmium Lemon you demonstrated.
Yes I have heard that too! In my own experience using Williamsburg, I have never felt any of their paints to be "grainy", so it could just be certain colors? Definitely not the Cadmium Lemon. Thanks for watching! :)
Do you have a Patreon account? You are teaching me so much, I would love to give a tip monthly- just a thank you. Love all your work, method, teaching!! Thank you!!
Napels Yellow by Winsor & Newton artist (ACRYLIC) paint is only €7.35 per 60ml and it's a mix of Chromium titanate and Titanium dioxide. It has no lead in it. Does it mean I won't be able to achieve that airy quality of the genuine napels yellow? Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yeah, unfortunately the Naples Yellow imitations just don't have the properties of the real thing. It won't have that quite the same effect. It's probably not a huge difference though, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Genuine Naples Yellow is very expensive so you can certainly paint without it. :)
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!!
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!
Thanks for watching! Neither is really "correct", they are just different in that PY43 is natural yellow ochre and PY42 is the synthetic version of the same pigment. The synthetic version tends to be slightly more yellow in tone.
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.
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 😃
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.
@@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 :)
I am actually not that familiar with the Strontium Yellow. I can tell you there really is no true substitute for Cadmiums. But if you need a cool yellow for mixing though, any lemon yellow will give fairly good results. Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 Thanks for answering! I really appreciate it. People like you make learning oil painting possible, esp for folk who lives at the end of the world. God bless all artists who shares their knowledge online :)
Very helpful video for me .. Thanks allot for this video i am totally confused, i have a simple but very useful ( for me ) question, I just want to know that which oil color is brightest and darkest also in their dark shades like black .. I mean i want brightest oil colors ( yellow , red , blue , white ) And darkest colors ( black , blood red , brown and all dark shades ) Which brand is supper useful for me ?
Thanks for watching! The brightness and darkness of colors depends on the pigment used, not the brand of paint. I have a series of videos that shows different colors from each family that may help you choose the right ones for you. ua-cam.com/play/PLPIWlTEFgtlDyEoDuTXbcnyFz-6-gs7pv.html Enjoy! :)

Is Michael Harding and vasari Genuine naples yellow light the same? If you have both, could you post a picture?
good afternoon. Thank you for the video. .Can I always use only the yellow chrome base?
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm not quite sure what you're asking? Chrome Yellow is a harder to find color these days, but you could use it as a yellow on your palette. Just be aware that it's not as permanent as Cadmium Yellow. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your demonstration. Have you tried Michael Harding Lemon Yellow, the one of Barium Cromate that its poison, and extremely bright and acidic. I order it by mistake thinking it was Cadmium Lemon Yellow, and now I don't know if I should use it 😅
I have not tried that color. As long as you are cautious with it you shoul;d be fine. Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for yor information, very helpful. latly i heard about akril color namde henci yellow pv74, are ther oil color with the same PV?
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! :)
Can you tell me what you mix the napples yellow with. What do you use it for? I bought a tube but I am not sure the best use of it is.
what can you tell me about lead tin yellow.....
Thanks for watching! Lead Tin Yellow is a great color! I should have included here...not sure why I didn't. You can use it more or less interchangeably with genuine Naples Yellow. It has many of the same qualities and will give backgrounds that same "airy" look...plus it's less expensive! Rublev is my favorite Lead Tin Yellow, but Harding makes it too. :)
cheers...thank you for the info.
Sir if I use only cadmium lemon and cadmium orrange or cadmium yellow deep . Can I mix all types cadmium yellow
Mostly yes. You can get a nice range of yellows that way. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I want to buy Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue (PY74) by W&N, is it a good option to use as a primary yellow?
Yes, it should work pretty well although a lemon yellow would be slightly better. Either way you should be OK. Just don't use a yellow that's too orangey. Thanks for watching!
I read a review that said "Williamsburg paints have a tendency to be more grainy than other paints".
Did you find it the case with the Cadmium Lemon you demonstrated.
Yes I have heard that too! In my own experience using Williamsburg, I have never felt any of their paints to be "grainy", so it could just be certain colors? Definitely not the Cadmium Lemon. Thanks for watching! :)
Excellent content! Only the Music I find distracting. Maybe softer would be better. Thank you.
Thanks for the great info! Ver helpful!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Very well done, thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching!
Great information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
hello.thanks for your video.i have a question.what is the liquid in the big bottle?
That's my medium that I mix myself from equal parts linseed oil, damar varnish and turpentine. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a Patreon account? You are teaching me so much, I would love to give a tip monthly- just a thank you. Love all your work, method, teaching!! Thank you!!
As of yet I do not have a Patreon account. But thank you for the nice comment! :)
Napels Yellow by Winsor & Newton artist (ACRYLIC) paint is only €7.35 per 60ml and it's a mix of Chromium titanate and Titanium dioxide. It has no lead in it. Does it mean I won't be able to achieve that airy quality of the genuine napels yellow? Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yeah, unfortunately the Naples Yellow imitations just don't have the properties of the real thing. It won't have that quite the same effect. It's probably not a huge difference though, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Genuine Naples Yellow is very expensive so you can certainly paint without it. :)
Which yellow is considered a primary (to use in a limited palette)?
Lemom Yellow or Cadmium Lemon would be a good primary yellow. Thanks for watching!
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!!
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!
thank you for your demonstration MrWalcott, may i ask a bit, for cadium yellow, how can i mix cadium yellow deep from cadium yellow light or medium ?
Thanks for watching! You can mix a close approximation of Cadmium Yellow Deep from the Light by adding a tiny amount of red or orange.
Jason
Could you tell us which is the correct yellow ochre, PY42 or PY43
Thanks for watching! Neither is really "correct", they are just different in that PY43 is natural yellow ochre and PY42 is the synthetic version of the same pigment. The synthetic version tends to be slightly more yellow in tone.
I just bought a tube of Naples yellow (Rublev) - getting past the sticker shock as I type here. It IS gorgeous though : )
Yes it can be pricey!! The Rublev Lead-Tin Yellow is nearly identical and is half the price, so I usually use that :) Thank for watching!
thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent! Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing, which yellow is the closest substitute for cad yellow light.
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.
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 😃
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.
Hoping I talk about hansa yellow light
Thanks for watching!
excellent video... saved a me a lot of time! Thank you :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. :)
@@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
:)
@@ytmm11 Honestly I don't remember the brand of yellow but yes it was Cadmium Lemon. The Cobalt Teal was most likely Gamblin. :)
A big thank you ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thanks!
What is your opinion on Strontium Yellow( PY 32) you didn't cover the color is it a decent substitute for Cadmium Lemon ?
I am actually not that familiar with the Strontium Yellow. I can tell you there really is no true substitute for Cadmiums. But if you need a cool yellow for mixing though, any lemon yellow will give fairly good results. Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 Thanks for answering! I really appreciate it. People like you make learning oil painting possible, esp for folk who lives at the end of the world. God bless all artists who shares their knowledge online :)
Very helpful video for me ..
Thanks allot for this video
i am totally confused, i have a simple but very useful ( for me ) question,
I just want to know that which oil color is brightest and darkest also in their dark shades like black ..
I mean i want brightest oil colors ( yellow , red , blue , white )
And darkest colors ( black , blood red , brown and all dark shades )
Which brand is supper useful for me ?
Thanks for watching! The brightness and darkness of colors depends on the pigment used, not the brand of paint. I have a series of videos that shows different colors from each family that may help you choose the right ones for you. ua-cam.com/play/PLPIWlTEFgtlDyEoDuTXbcnyFz-6-gs7pv.html Enjoy! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 thanks allot for your valuable response my friend, am just going to watch this link , thanks again
