My Article on Color Temperature for Gamblin

Final Step of Color Temperature Demonstration
"Winter's End" 9x12 Oil

If you've ever taken a workshop with me, you know I've enjoyed using Gamblin oil paints for many years.  Well, Gamblin Artist Colors recently invited me to contribute a technical article for their web site.  I get a real pleasure in writing this kind of article.  It's not only an opportunity to share what I know, but I get to learn a bit, too.  The articles always involve research, experimenting and creating demonstrations.  Okay, let me be honest—I just love to play around with paint!

The article is about color temperature.  Again, if you've ever taken a workshop with me, you know that I stress using color temperature effectively.  It is key to creating a realistic sense of light and shadow, of form and distance.  If you'd like to know more about this vital topic, you can read the article on Gamblin's web site:   https://gamblincolors.com/understanding-color-temperature/
