Introduction from Matisse:

"Capturing the Essence of Sunflowers"

Yellow Deep, a rich golden yellow, evokes the vibrant beauty of Vincent Van Gogh's iconic sunflowers. Imagining this pigment in Van Gogh's hands, one can't help but picture even more mesmerizing sunflower paintings. In contrast, Van Gogh utilised a golden shade of Chrome Yellow, a pigment known for its toxicity and susceptibility to turning brown when reacting with other colours. Enter Yellow Deep, a non-toxic and highly lightfast alternative, free from the challenges associated with its historical counterpart.
