Cotman Watercolor Cadmium Yellow Hue 8ml

Cadmium Yellow Hue is a warm mid-range yellow made from arylide pigments to resemble genuine Cadmium Yellow. It is a reddish yellow with good tinting properties. Arylide yellow is part of the Hansa Yellows which were first developed in the early 1900s in Germany by the Hoechst company

The range of 40 colours are chosen according to mass tone (colour from tube), undertone (bias of colour when in a thin film), colour strength, relative opacity and the character of the pigment itself. The resultant colour spectrum ensures the largest number of colours can be mixed.

The Cotman Water Colour range has a more uniform consistency than the Artists’ Water Colour range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. The Cotman Water Colour range also relates to the Winsor & Newton Artists’ Water Colour range, this enables artists to use colours from both ranges with minimal adjustment to their technique.
