Hansa Yellow Medium Watercolor Paint

Description

Hansa Yellow Medium is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Hansa Yellow Medium is a bright, warm yellow watercolor pigment with a lively, slightly golden undertone. Made from a modern azo based organic pigment, it offers exceptional clarity, smooth transparency, and strong tinting strength, making it a favorite among contemporary artists for clean, vibrant mixing and expressive color palettes.

Positioned between lemon and deep yellows, Hansa Yellow Medium is perfect for sunlit landscapes, florals, portrait highlights, and vivid botanical work. Its transparency makes it ideal for glazing, layering, and delicate watercolor techniques where purity of color is key. Compared to cadmium yellows, it's lighter in feel and safer to use, while still delivering powerful color payoff.
