lead oil painting and printmaking into the future. To us this means crafting materials as they ought to be, not just as they have been. Our luscious colors and contemporary mediums are true to historic working properties, yet safer and more permanent.</span></p><p>
230<iframe title="Approach to Colormaking" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/51973432?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="1080" height="608" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have always wanted to give artists color at its maximum with a luscious texture. A texture that readily responds to an artist’s intention and handles beautifully. A color reaches its maximum when the pigment has been developed to the highest emotional resonance for that color. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is so much more to our work than fine raw materials and high pigment loads. At Gamblin, we are forging together the right balance of pigment, oil, history, science and emotion. All twenty five of us are dedicated to getting that balance right. Every color. Every batch. Every time.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since our founding in 1980, we have been guided by our community of artists, our own studio work and insights from our work and dialogue with museums around the world. Our Conservation Colors have been used to restore works by Van Eyck, Da Vinci, and Van Gogh. </span></p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet foremost, we are here to serve today’s painters. We are honored to be your colorhouse and we look forward to working with you. If you have any suggestions or questions, please </span><a href="https://gamblincolors.com/contact-gamblin/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">contact us</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And if you’re ever in Portland, please do look us up. We’d love to see you.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>
