Gamblin Artist's Oil Colors 37ml Alpine Blue Green
The coldest and bluest of Gamblin's Useful Greens. The blue-greens of alpine forests, valleys, and distant mountains. Useful in tints for distant foothills and mountains. Useful for evergreens and high elevation foliage, Alpine Blue-Green's reduced temperature helps convey warm greens that appear cool through the blue of distance.
This color emerged from Gamblin's work developing the first three Useful Greens. When you are closer to the treeline, you get more atmosphere and interference. Greens that appear warm up close, cool to blue as they recede. This is the "blue of distance" Rebecca Solnit refers to in her book A Field Guide to Getting Lost.
At Gamblin, it is their mission to lead oil painting and printmaking into the future. To Gamblin this means crafting materials as they ought to be, not just as they have been. Gamblin's luscious colors and contemporary mediums are true to historic working properties, yet safer and more permanent.
