New Videos from Gamblin Artists Colors
Since its founding, Gamblin has been dedicated to helping artists select and master the materials that best suit their artistic intentions. It is in this spirit that they have produced two new video demonstrations, focusing on Oil Painting Mediums and Varnishing. These are extremely helpful and outstanding videos to share with your staff and your community of painters.
Making Painting your Own
Painting mediums offer a great deal more than simply extending oil colors. Mediums modify the working properties of oil color from the tube – from a fluid consistency for expressive mark making to a stiff paste for creating thick, crisp marks. Painting mediums also broaden the visual qualities of our colors – from increasing the transparency of paint layers, to creating a range of surface qualities, from high gloss to matte. Choosing the appropriate painting medium can be an essential part of making oil painting your own. The new video demonstration below discusses the differences in working properties and drying rates of our mediums and walks painters through Gamblin’s updated Oil Painting Mediums Guide.

Gamvar | The Perfect Picture Varnish.
Gamblin recommends varnishing paintings unless you truly dislike the look. Unvarnished paintings are vulnerable to aging in ways that varnished paintings are not. With Gamvar Picture Varnish and/or Cold Wax Medium, painters can obtain the gloss or matte surface that is perfect for their work. Both varnishes are formulated with Gamblin’s mild Gamsol, so they are virtually odorless and can be safely and easily removed with Gamsol. Gamblin’s updated video demonstration gives tips on varnish application and discusses ways to customize surface quality.
