How do they process linceed oil from raw cold processed to artist grade,can you tell that too plz,and how much linseed oil goes into how much pigment,plz tell that ratio too,thankyou
I would have thought it to be a much larger operation given the quality of the paints and how much of the product is available. Somewhere around 29 people in that company. Most impressive! So yes, keeping it simple really works well for them.
I agree...I was amazed also at the size of the place, ..I thought Gamblin paints meant Huge assembly line type business....Thank you for sharing the video with us.
Interesting video. Can I have your permission to use footage from the video to explain how oil paint is made? I will give you credit for it if you approve it.
Talking about consistency, Gamblin colors are unfortunately prone to too much oil seperation. Some transparent colors, like Viridian or their Transparent Red earth are just too coarse, insufficiently grinded, which makes for unwanted glare and poor transparencies. Their cadmiums are too sticky and not easy to apply. Their Alizarin Crimson is great. Pigment load is good enough for the price range. They would have to make some well needed adjustments. Would be very easy to adjust but they don't seem to understand that they could make much better without cutting the profit.
I guess maybe you're using your Gamblin oils in a different way than I am. I have never encountered these issues you speak of. I suppose there's always a chance of a bad batch maybe? But I've been extremely happy with Gamblin paints and I use them on many different surfaces like canvas, illustration board, masonite, gessobord, and birch wood panels.
@@jeffmiracolaartist They are good for the price but the issues I mentionned can be found over many different batches I have had. I use the larger tubes.
Instead of 150ml tube maximum, it ought to be 250ml tube maximum size. It would give option of economics to artists. When toothpaste comes in 250ml size, than why not Gamlin artist Oil colors.
Sorry, but all of this fancy factory and the “ooh and aah” stuff is really pointless when either investing into making art, or the high cost of these oil paint tubes is not a rewarding activity. Let’s be honest. A degree in art won’t does not guarantee a career. No one wants to buy paintings these days. A famous artist can make a painting with the cheapest paint and still make lots of money. But an aspiring artist will make a painting with these expensive paints and still no one will want it. Basically painting is just an expensive hobby that is mostly a hobby for the rich people, and kids of rich people.
For every artist, it makes your heart sing ❤️ Colors, colors and more colors 🤩
Greetings love from Austria
Always fun to see these things. I remember when I worked at Sandoz, they gave me a tour of the Ovaltine plant across the street. Crazy stuff!
Very cool field trip, thanks for showing us! And thanks to Gamblin for allowing a video tour.
With a master's degree in fine art, you can work in one of these factories.
Very nice to see behind the scenes Jeff, these paints are some of my staples that go into my work.
Oh, and thanks!
Gamblin has such cool colors :)
Has the spatula ever gone into the rollers as its moving??.
Awesome man, when you posted this pic on Instagram I was going to comment that you should've filmed a video there. Thanks for sharing this.

It all looked so yummy, it made me want to eat it! Is that wrong, by the way? Eating paint, I mean.
