Gamblin Artist Oil Colors Introductory Set Review

 I bought an artist grade set from Gamblin on Amazon, and I want it to share my impressions on this set and also on the paint quality.

We all know how expensive artist grade oil paint can be. Sometimes is hard from students to move on from student grade paint to an artist quality paint. But after trying out this set from Gamblin, you don't have to pay that much for quality in oil paint. 

They are reasonable priced. Their paints are mixed with linseed oil. Remember that artist quality paint has no fillers only the pigment and the carrier which in this case if linseed oil.

Not only you receive nine colors but also a cradle panel ready to use.

In the following pictures below you will see what you get with this introductory set.

The set contains nine 37ml artist grade paint.

 

The back shows the colors included on this kit plus the cradle panel.

The paint is inserted inside the panel.

The following pictures shows you the panel that already has been primed with gesso.

After the pictures there if a video where I review this set on my Youtube channel.

A Peach

"Fried"

Like the tittle says this is an oil painting done on a 8x10 canvas panel. 

I used a limited palette on this one. The colors I used were cadmium yellow, cadmium red, burnt umber, payne's grey and titanium white. This is the way I like to keep practicing to better my skills as an artist.

What I do is to:

1. Pick an easy subject. Simple enough to do a quick drawing of it.

2. I prefer the subject to be one color or limited colors.

Doing these to simple steps it will allow me to do a quick painting!
