Gamblin Matte oil paints-WOW

Sample paintings  from Hidden Talent Fine Art School
For the last week I have been demo-ing Gamblin Fast Matte oil paints during our class break. Briana came to Edmonton in the summer and just recently Scott gave a product demo at Paint Spot ( thanks KIM!). I now have the 'recipe' for a great medium that works incredibly well with the new line- 1:1 Gamsol/ Galkyd. We all tried it out as well as the cold wax medium and I would highly recommend that they become part of your painting gear.
Hidden Talent  Fine Art School endorses the use of an underpainting technique and with the even finish and fast drying transparent pigments of the Fast Matte paint, alot of issues are resolved. The ease of varnishing with the Cold Wax Medium was a surprise to many students. I am predicting that we will see more matte finishes on our artworks in the future.
Just a reminder that Gamblin hosts the Torrit Grey Competition that selects winners that paint an underpainting in black, white and Torrit Grey....PERFECT for our style of painting! Visit www.gamblincolors.com
