Hi there! Today I want to review Hansa Yellow Medium, by Daniel Smith Watercolors.

Hansa Yellow Medium
My story with this paint is so funny.
I originally got it with Daniel Smith’s Primary Set.
But I wasn’t too keen on the actual combination of paints in that set (together with French Ultramarine and Perylene Red – Which I reviewed here).
So I kind of stopped using it. For the longest time this tube took a nap in my drawer.
But then I decided to take it out and give it a try. And I re-fell in love with it instantly!
I guess I just needed more experience to see how useful it was.
Hansa Yellow Medium – Paint Info
Here’s some additional info about this tube.
Pigment: PY97 (Arylide Yellow FGL)
Series 2
Lightfastness: I (excellent)
Semi-transparent
Low-staining
Non-granulating
I find it to be quite useful. It mixes well with many different blues and reds.
My favorite yellows lean to orange, but if I had to go with a more neutral yellow, this would be my choice.
Results of Using Hansa Yellow Medium
Here are some quick paintings and sketches I did using this paint.
Where to Purchase It
You can purchase a single tube here: http://amzn.to/2H4L0Md
Or the entire set here (very cost-efficient): http://amzn.to/2sjEv4C
I have to say a word about the set. It’s really useful, and very cost-effective. Each of the paints are useful on their own. I would highly recommend getting it.
Conclusion
If you love Daniel Smith paints, I’d look into this one. It’s a good, neutral yellow to have.
Despite me not liking the set AS A SET, I would recommend getting it. That is because the individual paints are great in their own right.
I hope you enjoyed this one, and I’ll talk to you again real soon!
