🎨 The Art Journey Palette – A Thoughtfully Chosen Oil Color Set
Over the years of painting and teaching, I’ve found that too many options can be more confusing than helpful—especially when you're trying to build confidence in your color choices. That’s why I put together The Art Journey Palette: a collection of 11 professional-grade oil colors from Gamblin that I trust, use, and recommend across all of my courses.
This set was designed to give you everything you need—and nothing you don’t. Whether you’re glazing delicate passages or laying in bold, expressive strokes, this palette offers the versatility, harmony, and reliability to carry you through a wide range of subjects and techniques.
Here’s What’s Inside:
-
Fast Dry Titanium White (150ml) – A smooth, non-yellowing white that dries fast and holds texture beautifully. Perfect for both alla prima and layered work.
-
Hansa Yellow Light (37ml) – A clean, cool yellow that adds clarity and sparkle to your mixes.
-
Hansa Yellow Deep (37ml) – The warmest yellow in the set—rich and glowing, like late-afternoon sunlight.
-
Gold Ochre (37ml) – A soft, earthy yellow-orange that brings natural warmth without overpowering the rest of your palette.
-
Naphthol Scarlet (37ml) – Our go-to warm red—vibrant, reliable, and packed with life.
-
Alizarin Crimson Permanent (37ml) – Deep and moody with cool undertones—essential for rich shadows, soft violets, and atmospheric depth.
-
Transparent Earth Red (37ml) – A transparent, rusty orange that’s perfect for underpainting and creating beautiful neutrals when mixed with blues.
-
Ivory Black (37ml) – A classic, warm black that mixes soft grays and deep tones with ease.
-
Ultramarine Blue (37ml) – Velvety and dark, leaning toward violet—this is a staple in almost every painting I do.
-
Prussian Blue (37ml) – A bold, slightly muted “true blue” that can cool things down or neutralize warmer tones.
-
Viridian (37ml) – Transparent, crisp, and full of life—a perfect blue-green for clean greens, water, and atmosphere.
Why These Colors?
Because they work. These colors are laid out in the exact palette order I use, helping you keep temperature, transparency, and mixing logic front and center. You won’t need to second-guess your setup or wonder if you’re missing something.
They’re ideal for:

Mixing beautiful, believable color

Glazing with rich transparency
