Description: Gamblin 1980 Oils - Hansa Yellow Medium, 37 ml (1.25oz)
Gamblin 1980 Oils - PY74-Hansa Yellow
Gamblin’s approach is different. 1980 colours contain pure pigments, the finest refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate). Since oil painting began, these three ingredients have made more affordable colours.
Painters experience true colours without homogenized texture or muddy colour mixtures. Gamblin's approach to using traditional raw materials and processes ensures that artists experience the luscious working properties they expect from their oil colours.
Hansa Yellow Medium: Its masstone is similar to Cadmium Yellow Medium but semi-transparent—clean, bright tint. Use in place of Cadmium Yellow, where a higher key tint is desired. Also, Hansa Yellows’ transparencies help them mix cleaner, brighter secondaries.
It has excellent brightness and tinting strength, and its drying time ranges from average to slow. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colours.
PIGMENT COMPOSITION AND PERMANENCE
PROPERTIES
This Hansa yellow is transparent. It has excellent brightness and tinting strength, and its drying time ranges from average to slow. Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondary colours than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colours like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because it is more transparent, it has excellent value as a glazing colour.
PERMANENCE
This Hansa Yellow has fair to good permanence, particularly in the lighter shades.
TOXICITY
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
HISTORY
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
