yellow
Thank you for the information on quinacridone gold. I used to
get it from Golden, for painting in acrylics, and loved the way it mixed with
other colors. Then the formula changed, the name became Q. gold nickel azo...
and it didn't mix the same at all. It was a huge disappointment. Last year I
found the Daniel Smith Q. gold watercolor and acrylic paints and have bought
several tubes of each. Maybe I'd better buy some more...

Actually, PO 49 (quinacridone gold) hasn't been
manufactured since 2001.
Daniel Smith bought up a lot of the available supply at that time; I
was told then that there was enough to make paint into the foreseeable
future; the person I talked
to said "Don't worry, we've got plenty." I haven't checked back since to
see how their supply is holding out.
But don't buy it, because Keith and I want it all.

I love Daniel Smith quinacridone gold. While I use 3 blues and 8 or so
reds, the only yellow I use is the Quin Gold. Very transparent. Warm, and not garish.
Don't buy it though. Rumor has it that the pigment
was created for the automotive industry (that gold PT Cruiser!) and that
it won't be made anymore.
So I want it all for myself!
