We are very excited to welcome Mary Tevlin and Allison Holiday from the Gamblin team to visit us in person on Monday, October 6th from 12:00 – 4:00!
Please join us for an exciting opportunity to explore Gamblin’s artist grade oil colors, solvent-free mediums, and varnishes.
They will be bringing samples of all 96 artist grade colors and Gamblin’s solvent-free fluid and gel for you to sample, along with some gloss finish varnish and varnish brushes for you to test, so please bring in a small painting (no larger than 8″x8″ please) if you’d like and learn to varnish on your own work.
Gamblin Artist Colors’ mission is to lead oil painting and printmaking into the future. For them, this means crafting materials as they ought to be, not just as they have
been. Their luscious colors and contemporary mediums are true to historic working properties while being safer and more permanent.
