Instead of relying on lines and grids, try starting your next painting by focusing on masses instead to establish your subject. @artrocha beautifully demonstrates this wipe out technique and how you can define edges and shape reductively with a rag, removing portions of your initial wash before adding in full body color. He then works alla prima (wet-into-wet), a process that can span several days. While a quick video like this might make it all look effortless, crafting each portrait requires years of dedication and countless hours of practice. #gamblincolors #welovehue #oilpainting #petportrait #chihuahua

@willrochfortart demonstrates how useful oiling-out can be on a dry paint layer. As oil paint dries, occasionally you’ll see colors sink into the surface and lose depth. Oiling-out is an easy way to refresh those dry layers and restore color saturation. But what should you use? Enter Gamblin 3-in-1. While many artists have their own recipe for oiling-out, this medium is ready to go right from the bottle, no measuring or mixing ratios needed. Do check that the paint is completely touch-dry first. When you’re ready, simply brush it on, allow it to soak in and be sure to wipe away any excess with a lint-free rag. You can do this midway through your work and keep painting immediately after oiling-out, which really gives the feeling of working into fresh paint again! Oiling-out can also be used when the painting is completed, as a way to reduce absorbency and help ensure that a final varnish like Gamvar dries evenly. This can be especially important on paintings with multiple thin layers and dark colors. When you’ve oiled-out prior to using varnish, wait until the painting surface is dry to the touch before proceeding to the varnishing step. On average, this usually takes a couple days at the longest. Want to learn more?

@bryanmarktaylor sets the tone for this floral plein air painting using our new 1980 Hot Pink and Hot Violet. These fluorescents deliver opacity and covering power unmatched by others and far beyond the quinacridones family of pigments. Love our hot fluorescents, and want to see more? We have more new colors on the way! We started this chapter in color development several years ago, and we are nowhere near finished.
