Bismuth Vanadate Yellow

This hue is one of my favorites in oil painting... too bad it's $30 a tube. This is just what my eyes can reproduce on screen, but the pigment in real life is so rich. CMYK and RGB can't compete with the actual vibrance of crushed up pigment.

    The contrast between the yellow and font color is so nice. and the font style makes it all work well. I so need to learn this stuff.

    I think I can visualize it based on this pic but I know the real life stuff is gorgeous.
