Gamblin Artist's Oil Paint Review | Paint List

Will Gamblin artist oils be the best oil paints for you? Today we’re looking at the Gamblin Artist oil paints line (not the Gamblin 1980 Oils), meaning they are part of Gamblin’s professional line of artist oil colors.

Not all Gamblin colors have the same thick consistency. Often painters will modify their oil paints, however we’re looking at the qualities of the paint before it gets changed on the palette- right out of the tube. So we won’t be taking a look at mediums or even Gamsol- just Gamblin oil paint!

Some quick caveats: The colors on the screen differs from the color of the paint. Everyone’s screen differs a bit and some colors are out of gamut.
