Description:

Transparent Yellow Oxide is a warm, golden watercolour pigment that offers a beautiful balance between rich earth tones and luminous transparency. This vibrant, earthy yellow captures the essence of sunlit landscapes, aged stone, and the golden hues of autumn. Its transparency makes it an excellent choice for creating layered, glowing effects, while still retaining the warmth and depth associated with traditional yellow ochres.

This pigment is highly transparent, allowing for smooth, even washes that maintain a radiant clarity, perfect for building up layers of light and shadow. In full strength, Transparent Yellow Oxide provides a rich, golden-brown hue, and when diluted, it transitions into soft, glowing yellows, ideal for creating highlights, mid-tones, or atmospheric effects. Its minimal granulation ensures smooth, flowing washes, making it suitable for fine details or large areas of coverage.

Transparent Yellow Oxide has excellent lightfastness, ensuring that its golden hues remain vibrant over time. It mixes beautifully with other pigments, especially earth tones, blues, and greens, creating a wide range of warm, natural shades perfect for landscapes, portraits, and botanical work. This versatile pigment is prized for its ability to convey warmth, depth, and luminosity, making it an essential addition to any watercolour palette.
