Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue is a warm mid-range yellow made from arylide pigments to resemble genuine Cadmium Yellow. It is a reddish yellow with good tinting properties. Arylide yellow is part of the Hansa Yellows, which were first developed in the early 1900s in Germany by the Hoechst company.

Fast drying oils, formulated with the best quality materials, are ideal for thick impasto techniques and underpainting. Available in 48 colours.

Faster drying time than traditional oil colour. Following the popularity of acrylic colours, which dry in 10 to 20 minutes, oil painters began requesting a product that dried faster than traditional oils. Winsor & Newton responded in 1976 by developing a range of alkyd colours, which has today become Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour. Alkyds are made from a naturally derived vegetable oil that is polymerized. The result is a resin-like product that, when mixed with a solvent, is very similar to traditional linseed oil. The colours remain workable for 4 to 8 hours and are touch dry in 18 to 24. Consistent drying times across the range remove the usual restrictions that come with conventional oils, making it easier to overpaint, regardless of the colour upon the surface.
