Description

Buttercup is a bright, sunny yellow watercolour pigment ideal for capturing the vibrant essence of yellow flowers. This lively colour is also perfect for adjusting greens and adding a peachy undertone to pinks, making it a versatile addition to any artist's palette. With its warm, fresh tone, Buttercup brings a cheerful and luminous quality to your artwork.

Whether used in botanical paintings, landscape scenes, or as a mixing colour to enhance the vibrancy of other hues, Buttercup’s vibrant nature makes it a must-have for those who enjoy creating bright and dynamic compositions.

With excellent AAA lightfastness, Buttercup ensures that your artwork will retain its vibrant colour over time, making it a reliable choice for professional and archival-quality pieces. Its semi-transparent nature and low staining qualities further enhance its versatility for glazing and layering techniques.

We Recommend

Value for money fantastic quality.

A colour that glows with a light radiance, not heavy like the cadmiums. Perfect for primroses.

I now have managed to buy sixteen of Jackman's watercolours, having been recommended by Michele Webber. I have also bought one of their paintbrushes. I have found the colours to be very vibrant and highly pigmented. They are a joy to use. Buttercup is my latest purchase and is well described. It is exactly the right colour to paint the yellow spring flowers. I find that by underpainting area's with "Petal shadow" another of Jackman's exceptional colours, I have the perfect shadow colours for Buttercup. No more muddy yellow shading. I shall continue to add to my Jackman's collection and advise you to also.
