  • Gamblin Studio Visit: Allison Green, Jersey City, NJ

    Crimson Lovers, by Allison Green

    Earlier this month, Gamblin Artist-Rep Jordan Graw and I visited the home studio of Allison Green in Jersey City, NJ.  Allison contacted us months ago, requesting an individual consult regarding oil painting materials, techniques, and studio safety tips.  What followed suit was a three hour visit covering such topics as painting mediums, fat over lean, varnishing, and children’s books. 

    It was a pleasure to see Allison’s beautiful work as she prepares for her first solo exhibition next month at Susan Eley Fine Art in New York City.  Congrats, Allison!

    Gamvar Picture Varnish blog, Landscape Painting book

    Gamvar Picture Varnish

    In his recent blog post, Seattle-based landscape painter, instructor, and author Mitch Albala writes about Gamblin Gamvar Picture Varnish at: http://blog.mitchalbala.com/?p=1604

    Albala’s book, Landscape Painting(Watson-Guptill/Random House, 2009), is a “must have” for landscape painters at all levels.  Albala includes examples of paintings from a broad range of plein air and studio painters alike, coupled with a fresh approach to sharing his own painting techniques and notes on color palettes and materials.

    David Shevlino – In the Studio

    Still Life by David Shevlino

    I have admired David Shevlino’s work for years, after being introduced to a number of his paintings at the DFN Gallery in NYC.  It was a pleasure when he contacted Gamblin seaking support for his latest project, his self-produced video detailing his oil painting practices.  It is truly a fascinating insight into an artist’s process.  David narrates his painting process from many different angles – from his materials to developing compositions, to capturing the spirit of his subject matter – in a manner that is as fresh as his brush work.  This is an inspiring video for painters of all levels. 

    To view more of David’s work, please visit his website at: http://mysite.verizon.net/davidshevlino/index.html.  For more information on his video, In the Studio – The Artwork and Painting Methods, please visit: http://mysite.verizon.net/davidshevlino/dvdpage.html.
