Utilizing Radiant Colors: Gamblin Artists’ Oil Paint with Mary Tevlin
Utilizing Radiant Colors: Gamblin Artists’ Oil Paint with Mary Tevlin
In this casual online workshop, Mary from Gamblin Artists’ Colors will be demonstrating Gamblin’s Radiant Colors, a system of accent colors that enable artists to easily and predictably punch up the color and intensity in their paintings. When used in mixtures, the Radiant Colors allow painters to warm up or cool down colours without darkening them. Radiant Colors can also neutralize colors into more nuanced mixtures. Mary will share how the Radiant Colors came to be, and we will showcase how painters utilize Radiant Colors in their work.
