Michael Hardings Artists' Oil Colour Lemon Yellow, 225ml Tube.


Inorganic – Sometimes known as Barium Yellow, as it is Barium Chromate. It was introduced into painting after the Lead Chromates, circa 1820. Unlike Lead Chromates, though, Barium has proven permanent and non-reactive. Most colourmen consider this yellow obsolete, and I’m probably the only one still making it. By itself, it’s an acidic looking yellow with weirdly green overtones. Its low tint and covering power mix with Magenta and the cooler reds to produce modulated greys artists sometimes seek for certain passages of flesh painting. This is the only yellow chrome paint that doesn’t discolour.
