Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium
Lemon Yellow 75ml
The sharpest, coolest yellow in the range: pure, bright, and built for light and botanical passages.

Lemon Yellow is the coolest, most acidic yellow in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, sitting at the green-yellow edge of the spectrum with a bright, almost piercing clarity. Based on PY3 (Hansa Yellow Light), it is semi-transparent, which gives it a luminous, light-filled quality in thin applications and a sharp, zingy brightness in thick impasto. It mixes toward green more readily than any other yellow in the range, making it essential for botanical work, bright foliage, spring passages, and any colour that needs crisp, clear yellow light rather than warm golden tones. In the ultra-thick Dimension Acrylic Premium formula, it holds knife peaks and brush texture without slumping. Dries to a gloss finish with a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Lemon Yellow is the fastest route to clean, bright greens. Mix it with Phthalo Blue for the clearest, most saturated yellow-greens, or with Viridian for cool natural greens without any muddiness. Keep it away from reds in your mixing chain if you want the colour to stay clean.

What Makes This Colour Essential

●
Consistency
Ultra-Thick Heavy Body
Lemon Yellow delivers the full ultra-thick Dimension Acrylic Premium formula. Despite its transparent pigment, the body is fully sculptural: it holds palette knife ridges and impasto peaks without slumping.
★
Hue
Coolest Yellow in the Range
Lemon Yellow sits at the green-yellow edge of the spectrum. It is the correct yellow to reach for whenever you need clean, crisp yellow light without warmth, or when building bright green mixes.
✓
Mixing
Fast Route to Clean Greens
With blue pigments, Lemon Yellow makes the cleanest, most saturated greens of any yellow in the range. With Phthalo Blue it reaches near-fluorescent yellow-green. With Viridian it produces cool, natural landscape greens.
●
Lightfastness
Blue Wool Level 7+ / ASTM I
Rated at Blue Wool Level 7 or above (equivalent to ASTM I), Dimension Acrylic Premium Lemon Yellow is formulated to remain unchanged for more than 100 years under museum-quality lighting conditions. Purpose-built for archival and professional work.

Mixing with Lemon Yellow

Lemon Yellow is at its best in colour mixes where clean, bright greens or sharp yellow passages are needed. Its cool bias makes it the primary yellow for all green mixing.

Combine this colour with...
Phthalo Blue → the cleanest, most saturated yellow-greens: from acid spring green to deep olive with more blue
Viridian → cool natural greens for foliage, botanical illustration, and fresh landscape
Monastral Green → deep vivid greens with a sharp, transparent quality ideal for dark foliage
Titanium White → pale lemon-cream for light passages, cool highlights, and bright sky suggestions
Medium Yellow → pure warm mid-yellow: a great palette-mixing primary when a neutral yellow is needed

About Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Founded in Australia in 2002, Mont Marte creates high-quality fine art materials for students, hobbyists, and professional artists worldwide. Dimension Acrylic Premium is their flagship heavy body range: an ultra-thick, high-viscosity acrylic formulated for impasto work, palette knife painting, and any technique that demands a paint that holds its shape. With a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating (equivalent to ASTM I), the 48-colour range is built for serious, permanent work. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

What makes Lemon Yellow different from Medium Yellow?

Lemon Yellow (PY3) sits at the cool, green-leaning edge of the yellow spectrum. Medium Yellow sits toward the warm, orange-leaning edge. For mixing greens, Lemon Yellow gives the cleanest results. For mixing oranges, Medium Yellow or Deep Yellow is the better choice. In a limited palette, having both gives full range over yellow-green and yellow-orange mixtures.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Lemon Yellow with a palette knife?

Yes. Palette knife application is one of the primary uses for Dimension Acrylic Premium. The ultra-thick formula sits firm on the knife, deposits a clean hard-edged layer on the surface, and holds the shape of each mark as it dries without slumping. Apply straight from the tube for maximum texture and sharp ridges.

Is Lemon Yellow lightfast?

Yes. PY3 (Hansa Yellow Light) carries a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating in the Dimension Acrylic Premium formula, making it suitable for professional and archival work.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Lemon Yellow take to dry?

Thin applications dry in 20-30 minutes. Heavy impasto builds applied with a palette knife can take 1-2 hours to dry fully. Drying time extends in cold or humid conditions. Do not apply a second thick layer over the first until the lower layer has dried completely to the touch.

What surfaces can I use Dimension Acrylic Lemon Yellow on?

Canvas, board, wood, air-dry clay, plaster, cardboard, paper, leather, and most rigid plastics. For best adhesion on non-porous or slick surfaces, apply a coat of gesso or acrylic primer first. Dimension Acrylic Premium is compatible with all Mont Marte acrylic mediums, gels, and impasto pastes.
