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 😊

Just starting in oils. Watching you manipulate pigments and seeing them side by side is very helpful. Thanks for your informative commentary.

Unable to sleep and decided to watch your videos. Thank you for your time.

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.

Finally, a channel that discusses practical applications of oil painting for newbies. Subbed and liked. Thanks

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!

Great video! You might also want to check out a couple of my favorite yellows - bismuth yellow and chrome titanium yellow.

Great Tutorials Series on Colors I have watched them over and over. Learn something new every time. Thanks so much for Sharing!!

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.

SO helpful! Thank you so much for these in depth studies of colors. It's so helpful in making buying decisions.

I just found you! I'm loving your videos, they are very informative and well done! Thank you!

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.

Ty so much for these extremely useful tutorials on colors. I learn things I didn’t know everything I watch, & I’m an acrylics 👩‍🎨

This video was very helpful in helping me decide what yellows I needed. So helpful in fact I made my own video after I bought some. Thank you

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.

EXCELLENT DEMO. Very useful info . Thanks Jason!

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.

Great teaching Jason .enjoy all your videos,and have learned so much

Hi Jason, thanks for all the information. Loved your videos. I cant believe I’m taking notes from your videos!

For anyone looking for a translucent lemon yellow in acrylics, Arteza has a medium body Lemon Yellow PY3 that works great😊.

Awesome video. Just what I was looking for!

Very informative. I call Indian yellow when mixed with white 'sulfur". I used this mixture to depict a sulfur fire behind a mountain.

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 just salute you and thank yoouuuuuuuuuuuu for sharing this information for beginner artists. I love it. Thanks 😊❤️

Very beautiful yellows!

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.

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

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 putting the video on greens.Quite helpful.

What a lovely and complete description Thank u so much

Loving this playlist!!!!

Great teaching many thanks have subscribed and liked keep up the good work .

I love your videos. Thanks so much.

Excellent explanations 😊Thank you 🎨🕊

I don't see PY83 in Winsor and Newton's range, but they do have something called Indian Yellow that is PR101, PY139

in the minute 13:05 a very useful information about yellow ochre and the wonders it does.

Very informative as always, thank you Jason

Thank you, you explain everything thoroughly. Your videos are very helpful.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The best way to use it is for marking areas in games.

I like rublev's chrome yellow primrose. I am going to try lead-tin yellow dark for my first old masters color.

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.

Williamsburg Cadmium Lemon is PY35

I really appreciate these videos.

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.

Very helpful & interesting, thank you. 😊

Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful.

love your vibe

Thanks Jason. This really helped.

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!!

Heyy! Thank you so much for making such a informative videos... Helped me a lot 👍

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!!

Very helpful!

So very appreciated

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🤗

Wonderful color videos. Thank you so much.

Love this video. Great job.

Excellent content! Only the Music I find distracting. Maybe softer would be better. Thank you.

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?

Thank you verry helpful!

Cadmium yellow light for bananas🍌 add white for florals, daffodils🌼, sunflowers🌻 certain stones. Cadmium yellow medium for school buses, pencil yellow ✏️, can be made by mixing Cadmium light and Cadmium lemon is cool. Cadmium yellow deep, more orangey than Cadmium yellow light. Cadmium yellow deep is the most 🍊 great for painting orange🍊 , pumpkins 🎃, carrots🥕 more pinkish orangey hue. Indian yellow (transparent) for sunflowers lit areas on the petals (mixed with white). Yellow ochre is great to mix with blues for landscapes, mixed with reds or siennas for flesh tones, shadow for actual lemons🍋, tan sandy colour. Naples yellow made with lead, mixed with black and umbers it makes an airy atmospheric colour in backgrounds.

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

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.

How about a comparison between vanadium yellows and the cadmiums. Most of the problem with the environment is from watercolour and acrylic painters who wash it down the sink. Oil painters don't even have to wash their brushes_just leave them in a tilted tray in oil and just wipe with viva or old rags...no turps and no cads down the drain.

I just bought a tube of Naples yellow (Rublev) - getting past the sticker shock as I type here. It IS gorgeous though : )

Have you tried Bismuth Vanadate Yellow to replace Cadmium Lemon? It is said to be very opaque and has high tinting strength too.

very very insightful.. thank you😁

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!!

Great information

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 😅

A big thank you ❤️

The content of your videos are very helpful. I am very grateful. I wish you would remove the background music though. It's distracting and not necessary.

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

Very well done, thanks

would anyone know if winsor and newton winsor lemon py3 is a good match for cad light or is it closer to cad lemon.

thank you!

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

Nature just have to step aside. Cadmium for my gut and tongue and art and stuff. CADMIUM! Great vid!

Excellent! Thank you!

what can you tell me about lead tin yellow.....

Thanks for the great info! Ver helpful!

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?

Merci!!!

Beautiful painting art thx

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 😃

Hoping I talk about hansa yellow light

Is Michael Harding and vasari Genuine naples yellow light the same? If you have both, could you post a picture?

This is so helpful!

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.

Awesome! Thanks!

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 ?

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!

Hey Walcott, and how about Nickel Azo Yellow (PY150)?

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 ?

I'm glad I came across your videos, I have a preference for oils, but I use acrylics when I'm in my small art group as they prefer no fumes because of possible allergies etc. Would you do videos on acrylics please as I love to have information (bit of a info junkie I am), or do you only work with oils? cheers!

Ok, how do I mix up "Green Gold" it's a colour one can buy in the "Golden" line, but I'd love to see how to mix it and make my own (or get close). Love your channel, keep up the great work!
