A warm medium toned yellow that is excellent for color mixing. It has a strong history in traditional techniques including use as a toner in Norwegian Rosemaling. Try mixing with Diarylide Yellow (PY 83) for strong bright yellows. Add Yellow Oxide and a touch of Titanium White to our Gold acrylic to increase the opacity of the transparent mica paint. You can replicate a beautiful historical pigment called Naples Yellow by mixing Yellow Oxide + Hansa Yellow + Titanium White. Naples Yellow was a favorite pigment of the Dutch Masters but was lead based and highly toxic. With a little color mixing, you can safely emulate historical hues.

Heritage MultiMedia Acrylics are a water based non toxic resin acrylic. The binding system contains a 360º coating agent that protects the pigment and improves the overall light-fastness of the color. Dry as needed with a hair dryer and clean up with soap and water.

Heritage MultiSurface Sealer and Varnishes contain UV inhibitors to further protect surfaces. This is especially important when working with delicate papers in decoupaged

designs.

For Acrylic techniques, use with water. Out of the tube, they have an approximate drying time of 20 minutes depending on the humidity level in a room.

For Global techniques (oil emulation), use with Extender Medium. By evaporating the water out of the paint and replacing it with Extender you can add hours to the drying time.

Our trademark Global^® formula.  This special formula increases the drying time of the paint from 20 minutes to several hours so you can do oil painting techniques.

Global^® colors are a wonderful way to experience the high quality artistic pigments in the Heritage MultiMedia paint line.  Combine them with the soft fusion brushes and you can paint any oil technique without the solvents, smell and health issues.
