Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Australian Yellow Green

Matisse Australian Yellow Green (Series 1) revives a centuries-old tradition of yellow-green pigments with a modern, lightfast formulation designed for today’s artists. Inspired by the chartreuse tones found in native Australian flora, this fresh, luminous hue pays homage to historic plant-based pigments like stil de grain, Sap Green, and pink bice, once derived from buckthorn berries and used widely in 18th-century European painting.

Unlike its fugitive predecessors, Australian Yellow Green offers ASTM I lightfastness and is crafted from a reliable blend of Arylide Yellow and Chlorinated/Brominated Phthalocyanine, resulting in a vibrant, semi-transparent paint that brings clarity and versatility to any palette.

This pigment excels as a mixing colour, lightening greens without dulling them, as white often does. Combine with:

• Australian Ghost Gum for a warm yellow-green
• Australian Sky Blue for a cool, atmospheric green
• Southern Ocean Blue for rich, moody forest tones
• Cobalt Blue for muted olive hues
• Cobalt Teal for bright, permanent spring greens

Perfect for landscapes, botanical studies, abstracts, and expressive color fields, Australian Yellow Green is a radiant workhorse, bridging historical depth with contemporary permanence.
