Safe Studio Month
Gamblin & Wet Paint Support a Safe Studio

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.
