It is time again for Gamblin Artists Oil and Wet Paint to call attention to the importance
of maintaining a safe studio.
The ideal of achieving a safe working environment for artists
is of central concern to Gamblin, which has
committed itself over the past two decades to making art materials
without toxic solvents. Gamblin has created Gamsol,
the safest odorless mineral spirits available for use in the
studio. Recommended for thinning oils and cleaning brushes,
Gamsol is safer than turpentine as it evaporates at a much lower
rate (preventing the body from absorbing it as fast).
Galkyd is a fast-drying painting medium that
imparts a gloss and is a replacement for traditional painting
mediums which use turpentine and damar resin.
And of course, we must mention the Best Named Product in the
arts materials industry, Neo Megilp. Neo Megilp
is a product developed as a safe replacement for traditional Maroger medium.
