Mussini Ultramarine Blue Light

To make a dark neutral from any yellow color,
use it's darker color burnt umber or raw umber and
mix it with the yellow's opposite color Ultramarine Blue.

Here is a painting done using only the complementary colors.
Yellow to Brown and Ultramarine blue.
This was painted using opaque acrylic yellows.


 


This one is an oil painting.
One thing that stands out well in both paintngs are the nice rich neutral darks.

One company still makes an oil transparent yellow,
they saved it for 100 years for us. Artists would learn to use it again in 1996.

Old Holland had done it with Indian Yellow-Orange Lake Extra, transparent, dual-tone
and Indian Yellow-Brown Lake Extra, transparent, dual-tone.
