Re-Creating Naples Yellow
Вставка

- Genuine Naples Yellow (PY41) is a classic color. It’s on the expensive side and not available everywhere, so I’m re-creating it with the colors listed below:
- Michael Harding Foundation White (PW1, PW6): bit.ly/mh-foun...
- Michael Harding Titanium White No 1 (PW6): bit.ly/mh-tita...
- Rublev Cadmium Yellow Light (PY35): www.naturalpig...
- Winsor and Newton Gold Ochre (PY42): bit.ly/ws-aop-...
- Michael Harding Venetian Red (PR101): bit.ly/mh-vene...
1:40 - Foundation White + Cadmium Yellow Light + Gold Ochre seems like a winning combination. Titanium White also works well with these colors.

Thank you. These color studies are great :)
You're welcome!
Have you used genuine Naples yellow before? The mass tone of genuine is fairly easy to imitate, the magic of it is in mixtures. When mixed with black, your mixture doesn’t turn into an acidic green as you may expect. There’s a warmth to it when mixed with ‘cool’ colors. It’s very hard to explain. I think it’s from the lead content in it…it has a glowy warm quality to it that doesn’t go acidic nor flat, and its opacity doesn’t overwhelm either. It truly is unique and incredibly difficult to mimic. Vasari’s is the best.
This is a great distinction - the lead-based colors do look different than lookalike hues when mixed with other colors. Thank you for pointing this out. I haven't tried Vasari's yet.
I screenshot the charts you do and keep a file for reference. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Good idea, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
So do I. I also used the link for the PDF This is so helpful!
Ok grazie
Hi nikita, congratulations for the videos, could you tell me which brands of Naples Yellow are the most opaque if I were to buy these colors
Hi Stefan, I'm not using Genuine Naples Yellow (PY41) in this video. I'm re-creating it with different colors. The most opaque combination is Titanium White (PW6) + Cadmium Yellow Light (PY35) + Gold Ochre (PY42). Foundation White (PW1, PW6) will give you a slightly warmer version than the Titanium White (PW6) and be pretty opaque as well. See the video notes for links.
