Yes it is now official…I hate yellow, this came about after repainting this back end of the horse about 4 times this evening and it is still no further forward. To be honest it is a big old bit of horse backside to contend with so the yellow Contrast was going to struggle.
I think it looks better than yesterday’s attempt…
I am going to leave it for a bit and see what I think. It definitely looks more yellow than the calf with scour colour that appeared yesterday. I really gave it a bloody good shake this evening. Option two is a coat of flash gits yellow (ordinary paint..or layer as GW call it) with the yellow Contrast over the top.
When I said I had ‘x’ amount to paint on the table, I forgot about this lot. Funnily enough, the scouts were going to be yellow… not any more! In fact I probably could have painted them in the time it has taken me to do a square inch of yellow cloth…
I am too tired to carry on tonight so I will bash on tomorrow.

Yellow and white are tough. I don’t have any experience with contrast paints, so all I can speak to is normal paints. I always find a base-layer of a more opaque color helps. I tend to use browns for warm yellows and whites; And red or pink for cooler shades.
Good luck!

Yeah, yellow is tricky at the best of times.
For something like this, I’d probably go white, then yellow over the top, then pre-highlight with a white-yellow like GW Dorn Yellow as a big-ol’ horse-butt-drybrush and then try the Contrast Yellow with 50-50 Contrast Medium and just be careful to guide it down to the folds in the cloth and keep the main area of horse-butt-flank relatively clean.

Cheers mate, I missed this reply so went a different route, but I will definitely give this method a try on some of the other knights.

Yellow is a bugger for sure. I just build up layer after layer until I am happy but that can be quite a few layers. ☹

Yellow a sod of a colour as it is quite a thin pigment, so takes quite a few layers, even with a spray gun, to get the right amount of depth, even over a white primer. These days I use and ochre base and then highlight over that. Nor perfect but fine for 10mm figures.

There’s a Goobertown video of him painting yellow over pink, which worked, but it was done using an airbrush and I haven’t tried to replicate it myself yet using brushes. Usually I start with light brown but it doesn’t always end up how I want.

At this point I might be tempted to just try yellow drybrushed over it, followed by a yellow/white mix to pick out any highlights. 🙂

A difficult colour, to say the least…

I do like yellow – when I finally get done with it. Had a lot on my Aztecs and that took some experimentation, ditto to what Az said on Contrast medium. I also found inks and glazes can be quite useful too.

I know what you mean, the yellow on my 15mm Aztecs looked cool, but they were heavily incised so it worked well, this was just too flat.
