Description
The Gamblin Radiants Gift Set at Art & Home. This set contains the full range of 8 Gamblin Artists’ Grade Radiant oil paints. The collection is unique and a desirable addition to a painter’s palette. They are both vibrant and subtle. They harmoniously work together as a system of accent colours, enabling artists to easily and predictably punch-up the colour and intensity in their paintings. When used in mixtures, the Radiants allow painters to warm-up or cool-down colours without darkening them. Radiants can also neutralize colours into more nuanced mixtures.
Gamblin Radiant Colours were developed out of Robert Gamblin’s friendship with painter Wolf Khan. Wolf’s landscapes are spoken in the language of pure colour – the natural world is expressed through a vibrant palette and bold shapes. Wolf is just as fluent in working with soft pastels as he is in oil paint. As pastels are a “dry” medium, one would have sticks of pure pigment (Ultramarine Blue, for example) plus several tints of that pigment at different values. Wolf took the same approach to his oil colour palette – incorporating pure colours from the tube alongside lighter tints. Robert worked with Wolf in developing the eight intense tints that became known as Radiants.
