Description:
Cobalt (Aureolin) Yellow is a bright, transparent yellow watercolour pigment with a cool, slightly greenish undertone. It is known for its clear, radiant quality, making it an ideal choice for painting sunlight, fresh foliage, and luminous highlights. Cobalt (Aureolin) Yellow's transparency allows for beautiful glazing techniques, where layers of vibrant yellow can build up without becoming opaque, maintaining a delicate luminosity in watercolour compositions.
This pigment mixes exceptionally well with blues to create vibrant greens, and with reds or oranges to form clean, warm hues. Its cool undertone helps create fresh, natural tones, particularly in landscapes, botanical illustrations, and atmospheric effects like glowing skies or sunlit reflections.
Cobalt (Aureolin) Yellow is prized for its ability to produce bright, clean washes and mixes without becoming too overpowering. However, it should be noted that over time, it may have a tendency to fade slightly, Despite this, its beautiful clarity and versatility make it a popular choice for artists who need a transparent, glowing yellow that brings vibrancy and light to their work.
