Description: Gamblin 1980 Oils - Naples Yellow, 37 ml (1.25oz)
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. Naples yellow is an opaque, warm, earthy, greenish-yellow
pale yellow. It is suitable for skies, botanical and landscape painting, and as
an underpainting for urban sketching. Original Naples's yellow name comes from natural deposits in
Mount Vesuvius. It was first introduced to European painters in the early 17th
century. It was often used in the skies and as an underpainting for urban
sketching. Some Naples yellow brands contain lead, which can be harmful if
swallowed or come into contact with the skin. Thus, an environmentally friendly
Naples yellow hue was developed. Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments.
It is considered an all-purpose oil colour that is useful in all techniques and
the best all-around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it
between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing
than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil, more slowly than Lead
White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic and
semi-opaque in watercolour. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its
tinting strength is superior to Lead White and Zinc White. Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness. Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as
completely non-toxic. Animal studies do not indicate that it is absorbed
biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern
is with the inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's
crust. However, mineral deposits that are economical to mine are rare. Titanium
dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass-produced
until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time,
it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the
elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and the Greek word tito,
meaning day or sun. Arylide yellows are warm yellows with a reddish hue. When
mixed with white, they are almost orange in masstone but less orange in an
undertone. They are useful for translucent glazing techniques or washes with
high tint strength. Arylide yellow is synthesized by azo coupling aniline and
acetoacetanilide or their derivatives. Arylide yellow is resistant to water, oil, acids, and bases.
It has a melting point of 150°C and decomposes at higher temperatures. It may
bleed in paints and is potentially carcinogenic. Arylide yellow pigments have a very good lightfastness.
Arylide yellows have reasonable tinting strength, opacity, and solvent
resistance. They are primarily used in printing inks, plastics, rubbers, and
architectural and artists' paints. Monoarylide yellows are better lightfast
than diarylides. Arylide Yellow is classified as non-hazardous and non-toxic. There is no history of PY75 arylide yellow pigment. Hermann
Wagner discovered the first arylide yellow pigment, PY 1, in Germany in 1909
and made it commercially available around 1925. After 1950, arylide yellow
became more widely used as a replacement for the toxic cadmium yellow. Other names are Arylide yellow, also known as Hansa Yellow
GX, Monoazo Yellow, and Azo Yellow. Yellow Ochre provides artists with earth tones from cream to
brown. It has good hiding power, produces quick-drying paint, and can safely
mix with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to
more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for
frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides.
PY43 is made from natural iron oxide. Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are
some of the most permanent pigments. Yellow Ochre is non-toxic unless it contains manganese. Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow.
It was one of the first pigments humans used, and evidence of its use has been
found at 300,000-year-old sites in France and former Czechoslovakia.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PW6-Titanium White; PY75-Arylide Yellow;
