Golden High Flow Acrylic - Sap Green Hue, 1 oz.

An incredibly flexible medium, Golden High Flow Acrylic Paints go from brush to marker or from dip pen to airbrush and more. Golden High Flow Acrylics are a very thin and free-flowing paint, similar to ink in consistency, that lend themselves to a wide range of techniques, including staining effects, intense washes, pouring, airbrush, calligraphy and mixed media. These acrylic paints even offer an improvement over airbrush colors with an increase in durability of dry paint.

Sap Green Hue - When creating this Sap Green Hue, Golden wanted to make sure that the color was distinctly separate from another color blend, Jenkins Green. This was achieved by blending Transparent Red Iron Oxide, Nickel Azo Yellow, Pthtalo Green Yellow Shade and adding a tiny amount of Carbon Black to get a deep yellow green. While the masstone is somewhat cool and dark, the undertone is warm and vibrant.

Sap Green was originally made of the small berries from any shrub in the Buckthorn family, of which there are a handful of varieties. The Buckthorn is native to the near east, but has been cultivated in Europe since Roman times. The ripe berries could be used to make a pink dye, while the unripe berries produce a yellow juice or sap used to dye cloth and to make a yellow pigment called Sap Green.
