Description
An excellent colour, a paint made with the pigment PY129. It's very difficult to capture the hue with photography, hence the two swatches!
In masstone a warm, dark, grassy, green, for me really comes into its element in thin applications when wonderful luminous, earthy, golden hues appear.
In tints with white it creates almost sulphurous, yellow/green hues. Plenty of body with a slightly gritty feel, I really like this paint.
Surely a must have for landscape painters, I can think of no way of mixing a colour like this, while maintaining the chroma and cleanliness.
It reminds me of the other Azo pigments, which when used transparently seem to produce a huge range of luminous hues which almost magically appear out of a rather dullish masstone.
