The Gamblin Introductory Set of 9 Artists' Oil Colours is intended to give painters a thoughtfully constructed palette of colours to support any style of painting. The set also includes a primed, ready to use painting panel handcrafted in the US from sustainably grown birch. The cradled panel measures 12.25 in x 6.5 in x 1.75 in.
Paints included: Titanium White, Ivory Black, Burnt Umber, Yellow Ochre, Viridian, Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red Light, Cadmium Yellow Light.
Gamblin Artists’ Oil paints are made with the finest grades of pigments available and are completely non-toxic. Most of the oils in the range are made with alkali-refined linseed oil binder and the others with a safflower oil binder. Compared with cold press linseed oil (a traditional oil paint binder), alkali-refined linseed oil yellows significantly less whilst also creating a strong, flexible paint film. Not only are both the vegetable oils used in Gamblin Artists’ Oils completely non-toxic, but they are commonly used in health and beauty products, so their safety for use in paints is of no concern.
No solvents are needed to paint with Gamblin Artists’ Oil Colours; they can be thinned with small amounts of Gamblin Refined Linseed Oil. Brushes dirty with the oils can be cleaned by simply wiping away excess paint, working with a little Gamblin Refined Linseed Oil, and then rinsing with a brush cleaner or water and soap.
