Materials
Gamboge 藤黄 Téng huáng (藤黃) Gamboge saffron/mustard yellow herbal colour used to dye Buddhist monks’ robes, normally comes from Garcinia tree which is also where the delicious mangosteen fruit comes from! A hole is made in the tree bark and the sticky yellow resin used to make the colour flows out.
The best Gamboge saffron/mustard yellow was historically from Vietnam and so also called Yue Huang 月黄 (Vietnam Yellow), though also produced by Cambodia and Thailand.
Gamboge is also a traditional ingredient in Chinese medicine – but for external use only as it is poisonous and must not be taken internally.

Currently have the 18 piece set. And plan on ordering the 24 color set too after buying this! The colors sometimes look a little bit different from the tubes, but this was no problem. The colors themself look amazing! It’s great for painting flowers and animals and the 18 piece set has enough diversity to create beautiful artworks! ! You can put it into a container and when it dries up re apply water to use it again. For painting flowers with gradients such as peony, I do recommend using “fresh paint” from the tube so it’s easy to make the gradient on your plate and then applied it to the brush.
The Jiang SiXu colours are very impressive and much, much better than the Marie’s I have used in the past. I will be buying more of these in the future.
These are thick intense colors that tend to be opaque but can be diluted.This yellow is quite bright and only a little is needed to brighten a picture. Unless doing a large oversized mural , I feel this generous quantity will last through many paintings.I have already used it in several painting and am very pleased with the results.I ordered two colors but plan to order other colors soon.
Marie’s paints are good quality for their price. I was glad I could find it on this site. It came perfectly packaged along with some other items I ordered. Thank you!
