Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Yellow Oxide

Timeless and earthy, Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint - Yellow Oxide, Series 1, is a transparent, ASTM I lightfast pigment made from synthetic hydrated iron oxide (PY42). As the modern evolution of ancient yellow ochre, it offers rich, natural tones with enhanced purity, consistency, and lasting brilliance.

Used by artists for over 30,000 years, ochre was one of humanity’s first pigments essential in both figure and landscape work. Yellow Oxide, derived from 19th-century Mars colors, builds on that legacy, delivering the warm golden hue artists have relied on for centuries but without the impurities of natural ochre.

Though not as vivid as Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Oxide is essential for creating:

• Lifelike skin tones and warm complexions
• Natural greens and golden browns in landscapes
• Soft creams when mixed with Naples Yellow Light
• Earthy oranges and reds when combined with Burnt Umber or Primary Red
  

Yellow Oxide is the go-to yellow when harmony with nature matters most perfect for capturing the subtle glow of sunlit stone, aged wood, and living skin. Safe, stable, and rooted in tradition, Matisse Yellow Oxide is a core pigment no serious artist should be without.
