Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
Today I am continuing the exploration of the cobalt watercolor family starting from Cobalt Yellow, also called Aureolin (or Aureoline Yellow).
Is it lightfast? And if it isn't, how can I replace it? How can I use it in my sketches?
I am answering these questions and many more in my new video!

I will be swatching and comparing paints by Daniel Smith, Old Holland, Rosa Gallery, Winsor and Newton, Schminke, Lukas, Sennelier, Maimeri.
I am also sketching a lemon using Aureolin as my primary yellow: aren't you curious?

Hereafter you can find the links to videos mentioned in this review:

I buy my art supplies on Momarte, my favourite online store which always has sales and special offers: momarte.com/?aff=44 (they ship internationally and are very helpful and kind). This is an affiliated link that will support my channel without costing you any extra money.

Also, if you appreciate my videos, don't hesitate to like and subscribe to my channel, that would be amazing.
