Behind the Scenes

From Pigment to Paint. We invite you to experience color and see behind the scenes at Gamblin like never before. This is an intimate look at colormaking here at Gamblin and real conversations with the people behind your paint.

Dive into the depths of painting with this meditative piece from @amber_emmi who uses a little touch of Galkyd to extend the flow of her oil colors off the brush, and speed along the dry time. Both Galkyd and Galkyd Lite are fluid mediums that help with fine detailed marks while also supporting all styles and phases of painting. Learn more about them and our other fluid mediums by visiting our website. #Gamblin #gamblincolors #experiencecolor #oilpainting #painting #color #oilpainter #painter #oilcolor #technique #raindrops

Try starting your next painting without lines, focusing on masses instead to render the subject. @artrocha 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. What’s your favorite way to start a painting? #gamblin #oilpainting #gamblincolors #color #painting #technique #dogportrait #petportrait

Sky in a tube. That’s Gamblin Radiant Blue. Our atmospheric tint with Ultramarine Blue, this color a fine choice for depicting objects further in space or when portraying ambient particles reflecting on a distant object. Gamblin Radiant colors work together as a system of accent colors, enabling you to easily and predictably punch-up the color and intensity within your paintings. Vibrant. Subtle. Harmonious.

True color. Real value. Gamblin 1980 Oil Colors are made with the same dedication, pure pigments, and refined linseed oil that we use for our Artist Grade oils. 1980 colors are made more affordable by replacing a small amount of the color pigment with marble dust. The strength, flexibility, and longevity of paintings executed with 1980 is excellent. To learn more about 1980, head on over to our website. 🎥🎨Video collaboration with @artistcraftsmansupply #gamblin #gamblincolors #experiencecolor #welovehue #oilpainting #color #painting #value #realcolor
