Pigment tier: Series 3

Colour mixing recommendations from Matisse:

While Australian Sap Green, when mixed with Cadmium Yellow Light, produces a bright grass green, its versatility shines in crafting more utilitarian olive greens with Unbleached Titanium or Yellow Deep, ideal for landscapes. A Hookers Green variant arises by blending it with Transparent Yellow Oxide, or for a deeper hue, substituting with Transparent Red Oxide. Experimenting with Australian Blue Gum imparts a slightly cooler olive green. Noteworthy combinations include Australian Sap Green with either Permanent Green Light or Cobalt Teal, yielding rich and characterful hues. While Buckthorn berries may have faded, the legacy of the greens they inspired lives on, captivating the artist's palette with enduring beauty.
