[Aquanet] for a better Indian Yellow - meeting with Renée Sirois

[Barry D. Lindley]

Hi, Lorraine-

 

I generally don’t like DaVinci paints. I don’t know what pigment they
include in their Indian Yellow, since it is not given on their web site.
However, Cheap Joe’s American Journey Indian Yellow is a mix, PO62/PY97, and
I think it may be made by DaVinci.  PY97 is Hansa Yellow Medium, and PO62 is
Winsor Orange, so you are getting a mixture.  A good single pigment paint is
more likely to give consistent results, and you can always make your own
convenience mixture with more suitable yellows and oranges, if you wish.

 

 I have Daniel Smith Indian Yellow (PY108); it is a nice warm yellow paint
in hue and character, but it has only moderate lightfastness, according to
Handprint.  The various Indian Yellow (hues) from different manufacturers
use a variety of pigments.  Rowney, for example, is PY163, which Daniel
Smith uses for his New Gamboge (also a nice paint, which I have used more
than Indian Yellow).

 

M.Graham is bringing out an expanded range in November, which may offer some
excellent paints for your purposes.  They will have an Indian Yellow hue
using PY110 (equiv to DS Permanent Yellow Deep), also a Nickel Azo Yellow
(PY 150, also offered by DS as Ni AzoY and by WN as Transparent Y).  Both of
these should be well worth trying.  There will be a lot of other excellent
new offerings in the Graham line, and I am looking forward to trying them
out.

 

Barry

Bonjour

 

I had my latest surgery in the jaw, hope this one will be the last. I'm
still on soft food for more than 10 days to go, I will certainly enjoy a
juicy steack to celebrate, if the surgeon approves the results. I'll see him
soon for the follow-up visit. 

 

I need your help to find a better INDIAN YELLOW . The one I have is Da
Vinci, excellent lightfastness but dries into a too dull result I woud like
to improve. I would like it more brilliant, intense, glowing, just like a
sunflower's dream, and of course, excellent ratings in lightfastness,
transparent or semi-transparent, tell me also the brand and if it
granulates. Send your suggestions to the list so many will benefit from your
experience. 

 

By the way, just received a tube of Cobalt Teal Blue from Daniel Smith, what
a beautiful color, very clear washes, excellent behavior on paper, very
different from the greenish look shown in the latest Wilcox Guide.... I love
it !!!

 

I met Renée Sirois (Aquanet member) yesterday in a Painting Presentation at
the shopping Mall in Shawinigan. She was doing wonders on a portrait from an
oriental lady. The very transparent glazes she was using in her face were
very luminous. Congratulations.

 

Many Thanks in advance for the Indian Yellow  .....
