Oil Colour Tube — Talens Van Gogh Transparent Oxide Yellow 265 (artist oil paint)

Talens Van Gogh Transparent Oxide Yellow 265 is an artist-grade oil colour supplied in a tube for fine art and illustrative work. The formulation follows traditional oil paint composition, offering reliable handling for brush and palette knife techniques. This oil colour is suitable for layering, glazing and detailed painting on primed canvas, board or other prepared supports, providing consistent colour strength and predictable drying and blending behaviour.

Advantages

This Van Gogh oil colour delivers good tinting strength and transparent coverage characteristic of the Transparent Oxide Yellow tone. The paint has smooth consistency that supports controlled brushwork and impasto when applied with a palette knife. Its oil vehicle and pigment selection are balanced to provide even flow, stable film formation and compatibility with conventional oil-painting mediums and varnishes.

Suitable for

• Layering and glazing techniques in representational and illustrative painting
• Mixing to create warm mid-tones, glazes or subtle transparent highlights
• Brushwork and palette knife applications, including fine detail and textured impasto
• Use on primed canvas, gessoed board or other properly prepared rigid supports

Key specifications

• Artist-grade oil colour formulated for fine art
• Colour characteristic: Transparent Oxide Yellow tone
• Consistent tinting strength suitable for mixing and glazing
• Medium: traditional oil vehicle compatible with standard oil painting mediums
• Texture: smooth, workable consistency for brush and palette knife

How to use

Use the paint on fully primed and dry surfaces. Apply directly from the tube or thin with a compatible oil medium to adjust flow and transparency for glazing. For layered work, allow each layer to harden sufficiently before applying the next, following the fat-over-lean principle to avoid cracking. Clean brushes and tools with suitable solvents or cleaners after use and store the tube capped to prevent skinning.

Usage recommendations

For extended working time and fine glazing, mix the Transparent Oxide Yellow with a slow-drying oil medium; for textured impasto, use the paint from the tube or with a stiffening medium. Always test mixtures and adhesion on a prepared sample before applying to final artwork.
