Gamblin Artist Grade Oil Color, 37ml, India Yellow

I have always liked this paint... and yes, I do like Gamblin, and yes, they are trustworthy... but be sure to understand what the code number/letters are on the back, and how to use them. For this one, I believe it will be pg17 for your info. This color is great because it is a raw looking pigment when you use it (unlike, say, pthalos), and not a rich one. As you progress, you will find that using only rich pigments, and straight from the tube, will make your art look like a cartoon. As a novice/hobbiest you may like this, but as you progress, you will want more. This is a good pigment to mix with. Still, this is a strongly opaque paint. A good tilting paint for this reason is viridian... which is costly, but a great paint to use for this reason. This color will shift the overall color, and viridian will tilt it. Ultramarine blue is a cheaper way to tilt it because it is also transparent, it won't take over the mix, and also a cool color... plus it is much cheaper.

What can I say? ...The top of the line pigment. Only buy this if you absolutely need it... because, it doesn't matter what brand you choose, the pigment will be highly useful, but you will pay through the nose. Gamblin is great. I'm just saying, there is no need to be buying this if you are a novice/hobbyist and still are on painting for hues/color. Once at a pro level, there is no reason to be reading this aside from making sure this is a trustworthy brand. Well.... you came to the right place. Expensive, but great stuff... just stay away from the 'hue' stuff. As a pro, you probably already know that there is no need to buy pthalo Cerulean 'hue' paint. You get what you pay for...
