Inorganic – This soft, subtle, lemony hue dates back centuries. Artists such as Vermeer used Lead Tin Yellows to paint draperies and fur trim. Known for their incredibly high covering power, Lead Tin Yellows blend beautifully with blues to create subtle greens. “Girl Reading an Open Letter by the Window”, painted by Vermeer, is a wonderful example of Lead Tin Yellow blended to create the green trompe l’oeil curtain. In our time, a well-known American artist mixes Lead Tin Yellow with brilliant pink to create fantastic flesh tones.
