GamblinReclaimed Earth Set, Limited Edition paints made from pigments reclaimed from waters tainted by iron released from mines (101113)

I bought this set for a specific painting. I was very pleased with the Artist grade paint and I love it has a little panel included. This is my favorite to go brand. Check them out!

Loved the colors

First of all, I have not had any problems when opening a tube with anything oozing out like some people mention. The colors are absolutely fantastic. I believe this is a great company to buy your paint from! I highly recommend it.

... "one of the tubes's paint oozed all out the first time they opened it."So, knowing the nature of tubed oils, and since it's mid-July, I decided that when I got the tubes, I'd check for pressure and what not when I got them. Yup. I bought two sets and I checked all six tubes. The violet seemed ok. The red and the ochre were under a little excess pressure. One audiably went pufft, when I opened it, but it didn't ooze. Shoved a kebab stick into the tube, got a few more sssssst's, stirred it a littlebit. One was oily at the top and did ooze a bit, as if some oil separated fro the pigment a bit. That's not uncommon with oils. One tube, I wasn't paying attention when I opened it, then looked to see about 1/2 inch of paint erupted from the tube, then stopped. You can squeeze the tube the "right" way to get it back in the tube. Poked a stick into that one too to swish it all around. Going to let them all acclimate to their new surroundings but I sure am glad I read that review otherwise I'd have a few mini paint bombs lyin about.

I love trying out new art supplies. So when I saw this recycled piant by Gamblin I had to try it. It came with a small primed cradled panel by American Easle which was a bonus. I'm excited to try it.

I love using these colors! They are so great for landscapes involving trees, or brown and red hair in portraits. The Iron Violet has become a quick go to as a cooler brown without leaning too blue. The Rust Red is a nice vivid color. The Brown Ochre is a pretty simple color. The other two are where the pack really shines- the Rust Red also has a slightly grainy texture that I love for some extra tooth on canvas or panel. Speaking of which, the prepared panel that the box comes in is GREAT and I wish I could get more- it's a thick backed panel that's already gessoed! I'll probably buy these again once I run out- they've lasted me a while so far but for those special spots I need them, they're PERFECT.

They are good colors and seem to work and blend well with the other gamblin colors I use on a regular basis.

I was looking for a violet to replace purple ochre by rublev. This is a perfect match! The entire set looks perfect for flesh tones. The consistency of the paint is exactly like my other gamblin paints. The gesso board was a nice addition. I am super happy with this set.
