Cadmium Yellow Medium

Great paint at affordable price.

A rich vibrant yellow that mixes well with other colors. If you mix it with titanium white, you can create great looking highlights. The paint has a smooth butter like consistency, which makes it a joy to work with.

Perfect!

I love this paint. I have a lot of Gapka paints, and no other company make me so happy! I ran out of an old tube of Prussian blue, and was glad to replace it with Gapka’s. It’s great quality, creamy paint - workable and beautiful.

Gapka is just the best quality paint all the way around.

Since I found Gapka paints, I'm slowly just trying to get rid of all my old paints and just ve a Gapka user. Love them.

Great color

I like the color and the transition from partial opaque to transparent. As usual, Gapka doesn't disappoint.

Love it!

This is the first time I've tried Gapka paints, the colors are mood lifting. The paint consistency is creamy and easy to use. I'll need to try different colors.

Very nice and vibrant

I really liked the samples of paint I got. They did get damaged in the mail and dried up a bit but I was able to salvage most of them by mixing with linseed oil.

Love the paint but pretty runny

Love the neons but they were not as smooth or homogenous as I expected, very runny. Some colors in this set were perfect while other pigments felt like the paint material was not completely integrated and needed a lot of mixing and checking for pilly-debris material straight from the tube. Also the tubes were really wet with leaked oil from the shipped package.

Ultramarine Blue

Worth it

One of the highest pigment loads I've ever used, extremely thick so you can use it for heavy impasto or thin it down for a wash. Love it.

Just what I needed!

Ok, who really needs more paint, I should say just what I WANTED! The two sample set I purchased came quickly! Packaged well. What an amazing paint this is. Each and every sample was better than I thought for a reasonable price, which we know is hard to find! I especially am loving the pearls! My favorite by far! I am working with the White Pearl right now and am loving the results. Fine grade paint, not a lot of oils and flows nicely. Thank you Gapka! ~Kim

Havent used them yet but i am amazed at the pure quality of the paint.

I was curious, now in love.

First of all, their customer service is top notch.
I had an issue ordering since I'm technologically inept and was very satisfied with the quick and friendly service.

Their paint. Thick and heavily pigmented. Absolutely gorgeous and rich.

Their standard colors were somehow extra vibrant. Umbers that were pure delight.

Their Neon pink is absolutely blinding yet mesmerizing

But the pearl light green?...  come on...

Litterally every color i added it to became spellbinding.

I have a few favorite combinations..  but I'll keep those incantations for myself for just a bit longer. 

Still learning and loving the paint.
Thanks Gapka,

Chromium Oxide Green

Beautiful sappy overwhelming green that is so tacky and warm. A painters dream tbh

Mauve Umber
Michael Johnson

This is a great color to add to your palette. It’s character is rich and has an opacity that makes it workable with cold wax

Beautiful color, works well with so many others. Used it with cold wax and handled itself amazingly

Plein air must have

I never leave mauve umber out of my travel kit. Great to mix with ultramarine or black to get those shadows. Try it.
