I have been asked many times lately on social media (Facebook and Twitter) how I go about painting a yellow. Rather then repeat myself constantly on many posts, usually with all too brief and unsatisfactory answer, I thought I would do a quick post on how I go about painting yellows would be the way forward.

The full article, Painting Yellows How To, can be found on my blog here:

Interesting. I once painted a Montrose 17th century army,lot’s of yellow can’t remember my recipe except I tried to de-saturate as much as possible. These days I use Scale Colour artist acrylics(in a tube) which is essentially all pigment,and I haven’t looked back :)

Unfortunately I gave them  all to a mate here in Oz,and never photographed. They were Old Glory based for  the Games Worksop rules,hence my passing on. He is a member here actually’Tarty’ is his username I think… :)
