DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Bismuth Vanadate Yellow Watercolor 15 ml. - World`s finest artists` paints

This opaque yellow, leaning slight towards green, appears opaque in mass tone, yet lifts cleanly. It is low staining, making it excellent in portrait mixtures for dark flesh tones. Use concentrated to diluted mixtures in florals and field flowers. Its lemon yellow hue works well with purples and all the greens. Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
