Gamblin Artist Oil Color 37ml Terre Verte

Gamblin Artists Oil Colors are luscious, intense, pigment-rich colors that do not succumb to age. They are true to historic working properties, in a palette carefully constructed by America’s premier colorman, Robert Gamblin. Made from the finest quality raw materials, Gamblin’s oil paints invite artists to enjoy each color’s unique tinting strength, transparency and texture.

Terre Verte: Historically used as a bole for gilding and as underpainting for flesh tones in medieval painting, Terre Verte, or green earth, was made from volcanic celadonite and/or a mineral of sedimentary origin; Robert Gamblin mixed this color because true natural green earth pigment is unpredictable in color and availability. Gamblin Terre Verte is an excellent color for grisaille; it has a weak masstone and very muted tint.
