So, im doing this tutorial and im looking to change the lamenters yellow with another ink.
I have Liquitex available locally but they have 3 different yellows, what would be the closest version for it?

I've not got any liquitex inks, but I've got a lot of yellows in their standard acrylic range. Cadmium Yellow light is too much too cool; it's quite a 'lemon' colour and lamenters yellow has an orange tinge to it. Cadmium yellow medium has a more warm colour, and I think would be your best bet for a Lamenters yellow replacement. Yellow orange azo is slightly more orange than cadmium medium - probably a little too orange - but is still a definitely a yellow rather than an orange, so if cadmium medium is too pale, that might be what you want.


Edit: like an idiot I didn't check the link, looks like there might not be cadmium medium. In that case, you probably want a mix between yellow orange azo and yellow medium azo. Medium azo isn't quite orange enough, and orange azo is probably a little too orange, so somewhere in the middle would be good I'd say.
