Gamblin Artists Oils are based on alkali refined linseed oil as a binder. It yellows significantly less than cold pressed linseed oil, the traditional binder in oil paints, and makes a strong, flexible paint film. Robert Gamblin has sought out the finest grades of pigment available (yes, there are differences). He has constructed a paint of exceptional durability in a color palette that is proof of his devotion to painter's real concerns. All colors are mixed and packed by a dedicated crew of 20 employees in their Robert's concern with the longevity of oil paint has led him to national recognition and extensive collaboration with groups such as the National Gallery in Washington, DC. Recently, Gamblin was commissioned to formulate a custom gold finish that was applied to the entire ceiling of the newly rehabilitated Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Robert Gamblin is evangelistic about creating safe environments and work habits for oil painters. We carry all of Gamblin's safe solvent related mediums. We encourage you to check out the extensive information on personally and environmentally responsible studio practices available from Gamblin. This is a paint you can trust from a company we believe in. Made with the finest refined linseed oils, each color retains the unique characteristics of the pigments, including tinting strength, undertone, and texture. Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials. Caution — Follow safety instructions carefully. Not suitable for use by children. Shipping restrictions apply to hazardous materials. |
* While supplies last, receive a 37 ml tube of Gamblin Torrit Grey Artist's Oil Color FREE with any Gamblin paint purchase. (Limit one per customer, while quantities last.) What is Torrit Grey? Every spring, Gamblin collects pigments from the Torit® Air Filtration system in the areas of their manufacturing plant where dry pigments are handled. Rather then sending these expensive, high quality pigments to a landfill, Gamblin paint makers recycle them into Gamblin Torrit Grey Artist's Oil Color, which varies year to year from a medium dove to a dark, earthy grey. Tubes are dated and artists collect them, enjoying the unique qualities of each limited edition grey. The Torrit Grey store promotion (over 5,000 tubes were given away last year!) is Gamblin's way of focusing artists on the importance of recycling as well as studio and environmental safety. The Torrit Grey Painting Competition, conducted annually in the fall, challenges artists to create works with a color palette limited exclusively to Torrit Grey and any white or black oil paint.
