NIKEL TITANATE YELLOW

Technical data:

Pigment: PY 53 | Series: 1
Lightfastness: I – Excellent
Transparency: Semi-Opaque
Staining: 1-Non-Staining
Granulation: Granulating

Nikel Titanate Yellow is a semi-transparent to semi-opaque yellow, that leans toward green. This granulator can appear opaque yet can also be lifted well. Daniel Smith's website describes it as "low staining, making it excellent in portrait mixtures for dark flesh tones. Use concentrated to diluted mixtures in florals and field flowers. This lemon yellow hue works well with purples and all the greens."
Nikel Titanate is one of the coolest yellows in my palette. Placed next to Hansa Yellow Light, Nikel Titanate makes Hansa Yellow look warm.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
