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

Mon Oct 29 18:00:46 EDT 2007

I swear by Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold for that sunflower yellow color you are looking for.
Nice transparent and brilliant.

I also love all colors put out by Holbein and they stay very moist in my palette.
So if I were experimenting for a new one I'd go there. (best price on dickblick.com)

I have a student that uses Graham and the pigments are very chalk and not as brilliant.
I don't recommend those

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.

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  .....
