Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Cadmium Yellow Hue Oil Paint (1.25 ounces)

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. Traditional oils, wonderful as they are, take a very long time to dry. That’s why we created our Griffin Alkyds – they dry much more quickly and this means impasto and glazing techniques can be done in a single session. We’ve created 48 tones and these have a slightly greater level of transparency for increased depth and clarity when glazing. Our Griffins are a bit more fluid in consistency than traditional oils and they dry with a somewhat more reflective surface, too.
