When I painted the yellow leaves on the tree I had to do the same thing. It takes many layers. It wasn’t an easy yellow to paint because of the lightness of the color and the shade. If it had been the warmer cadmium yellow maybe it would have been easier. The Golden Green color was what kind of saved it. I just got stubborn about it. I ended up being OK with it in the end.
