A Paint It Simply Core Color

A bright Arylide yellow that mixes well. It is warmer than some light yellows but sits slightly cooler to the more powerful Diarylide Yellow (PY 83). Its intensity is well suited for focal areas in a painting will work as a replacement for some Cadmium Yellows. Creates vivid greens with Phthalo Blue. A soft Olive Green can be mixed with Hansa Yellow + a touch of Carbon Black. You can replicate a beautiful historical pigment called Naples Yellow by mixing Hansa Yellow + Yellow Oxide + 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 emmulate 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 lightfastness 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.
