Bring a piece of Old Master colour into your palette with Rublev Artists Oil Paint 50ml – S7 Lead-Tin Yellow Light (Type I). This classic, historically accurate lead-tin yellow is a fine-grained, semi-opaque pale yellow with medium tinting strength, prized for creating luminous highlights and gentle tints without the harshness of modern lemon yellows. Made according to traditional methods, it’s the same family of pigment identified in the work of Rembrandt (including Belshazzar’s Feast), valued for its stability and subtle, natural warmth.
Rublev grinds this colour in linseed oil with no added fillers or stabilisers, giving you a responsive, professional paint body and clean handling in mixes. Use it for skin tones, sunlit architecture, atmospheric highlights, and controlled colour mixing where you want pale, creamy tints that don’t overpower neighbouring hues.
