[Aquanet] Sap Green - meeting with Renée Sirois

[Barry D. Lindley]

Sap greens are “convenience mixtures”, like Hooker’s Green, etc., and vary
quite a lot. 

 

 I recommend mixing your own greens; if you want to avoid sullying your
yellow, you can squeeze some phthalo green and some quinacridone gold or
transparent iron oxide yellow or some other warm yellow, like New Gamboge or
Indian Yellow, into the same compartment on your palette and mix them a
little with your palette knife.

 

M. Graham Sap Green is phthalo green (blue shade) plus PY110 (their new
Indian Yellow or Daniel Smith Permanent Yellow Deep)

Daniel Smith Sap Green is phthalo green (blue shade) plus Quin Gold

WN Permanent Sap Green is Phthalo Green (yellow shade) plus PY110

Sennelier Sap Green is Ultramarine Blue plus PY154 (=Winsor Yellow)

Schmincke Sap Green is Phthalo green (BS) plus PY153 (= Daniel Smith or WN
New Gamboge or Sennelier Indian Yellow)

 

So you see there is quite a lot of variation – about the only thing they
have in common is that they tend to be somewhat more saturated than a
Hooker’s Green.

 

Why not find your own favorite blend and paint it with a little internal
variation?

bonjour Lorraine,

Thank for your positive commentary on my painting. I would like to help you
for a better Indian Yellow, but it is not a color I use very often. I just
buy a Sap Green from Graham and I don' t like it. Do you have a better
suggestion?

Au plaisir,

Renée Sirois

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  .....
