Tri-Art High Viscosity – Naples Yellow (Hue)

Description

Naples Yellow (Hue) is part of Tri-Art High Viscosity Professional Acrylic Paint, a heavy body acrylic with a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife texture. Built with high pigment loading and a fine grind, it stays bold and clean for impasto, scumbling, and confident brushwork.

Pigment profile: Mixed pigment colour (PW6, PY42, PR101). Bias: Warm. Pigment family: Mineral. Opaque handling, strong coverage for solid passages, tints, and clean colour blocking. Low tinting strength, build your mixtures gradually for softer shifts. Low to non-staining, forgiving in layered work and easier to lift while wet. Lightfastness rating: 4. Sheen: Semi-gloss.
