The transparent non-staining properties of this yellow can effectively warm darker hues without affecting their transparency. Landscape artists often rely on Aureolin to successfully glaze their watercolors or as a light wash in underpainting, to add the appreance of sunshine. This pigment quality, along with the ability to lift and to create soft edges, makes Aureolin especially useful to portrait and floral painters as well.
Sophie says: “This is a wonderful, neutral yellow that is neither warm nor cool. It’s a very useful color to have in your palette.”
