These artist's oil colors deliver "excellent quality" with a "creamy consistency and buttery application." Customers praised the "translucent quality" and versatility for mixing custom colors. The paints are "always consistent in their colour and texture." However, some shoppers noted the cost is high, making it less accessible.

Peter Spohn’s, use of Gamblin oil paints. .
Gamblin makes excellent oil paints. The Portland greys can be very helpful in moderating both temperature and value. I use the expensive cerulean blue liberally mixing it with cadmium orange to make warm greys.

Blue / Radiant Turquoise / 37ml
Gamblin Radiant Turquoise
Two of my favorite products are found at Opus: Golden Hi-flow acrylics, which I use for the airbrush portion of my paintings, and Gamblin oils, which is the subject of this review. I found the creamy consistency and buttery application of the paint makes it a pleasure to use, either by brush or troweling it on with a palette knife.
Video clips of how I use this paint can be watched on instagram, @jamespostillart, or on my website: www.postillartworks.com
