Manufacturer Description

From Daniel Smith:
Naples Yellow will make you think of late Summer with it’s sunflowers, wheat fields and sunny, dry landscapes. This dusty yellow with a touch of Venetian Red is made a neutral semi-opaque with the addition of zinc oxide. More ideas for Naples Yellow would be dry yellow grasses easily brushstroked over painted fences and barns, the zinc oxide opacity aiding the Naples Yellow to show over darker colors.
