Thank you so much Julian this series is absolutely fantastic !!! I’m in my 60s and I did not have the advantage of the Internet so young people should really appreciate having this being presented at their fingertips. The information was not readily available for me growing up so this information in the series would’ve changed my life.

You know, in this age of scammers and scummy business practice and planned obsolence... it's real nice to see there's still companies out there that do things properly. I was especially happy about the river restoration and making paint from the pollution. Beautiful.

Picture Picture! I love it when we took a field trip through Picture Picture as a kid in the 70's. It was just like watching TV at home, but somehow magical.

I’ve been using Gamblin oils since 2002! Only in the last eight years did I find out they’re made in my hometown (🤦‍♂️) when I sent an email with a few questions. I couldn’t believe how quickly and informatively they answered my questions. That service is unmatched and the quality of the paint is unmatched as well. Awesome tour! Thank you.

As a beginner painter on the other side of the world, who just spent decent money on some Gamblin tubes and varnish, this makes me feel very satisfied about my purchase.

Outstanding, again. Consider making this Behind the Canvas series available to universities that have a fine arts offering.

The arts of art 😊

I never realized how small Gamblin was and that it was family-owned. I do love their paints.

It is rare that I enjoy what is in essence an advertisement as much as I have enjoyed the videos in this series so far.

The sheer thinking about "what will happen if we take these oils and these colours, mix it together in this speed, time and pressure and see what happens" and they mastered it to the minute.. amazing

Fascinating! Thank you so much, Julian and Gamblin, for the tour.

The people in this company clearly understand and care about art, not just their science or their business. Inspiring.

I've gotta say that, beeing used to the quality of your restoration videos, I mever expected that you would be able to reach such a high quality in a completely different type of video. I am supper happy to have been proven wrong! And complement you for these masterpiece documentaries. You're truly briliant, and continue to be an inspiration

Among the many gifts that the Industrial Revolution and scientific chemistry gave us: paints in every color we want, consistent, stable, safe, affordable whenever we want them. They’ve become so commonplace that it’s easy to forget the centuries of science that got us here. They’re a fascinating story too.

When you announced you were going to be stepping out of the studio, I was initially sad, already filling with a sense of mourning. This series, however, is delightful. Your experience, your passion, and your insights are the catalyst that help these individuals and companies bring out their passions and their stories. I had no idea. Thank you, Julian. I’m so enriched by what you do, and am enthralled by how you do it.

If there isn’t some kind of Emmy or Academy Award for KZread content, there needs to be. You’d win. Excellent as always.

I was not expecting the technology used by my friends at Giant National Laboratory to track multi-million dollar equipment would be identical to what This Paint Company uses, but here I am.

So glad you were able to show us the inner workings of Gamblin - I love their paints, and it's so nice to see the process behind making them.

This is my Midwesterner showing but the Reclaimed Paints line was the highlight of the video for me. Definitely going to learn more about them!

I dearly, dearly wish I had the qualifications necessary to join that team in that field, helping to filter the dirty water. I can just imagine that projects like these are very limited-time-only sorts of things. There's just not many CUSTOMERS to SELL the reclaimed pigments to! So I'm very glad to see this company does have a need for that.

This one reminds me of my days working at a cosmetics company. Milling makeup, matching colors, and the occasional pigment incident.

This is awesome. Gamblin oils are my go-to when I paint with oil. I've tried a few other brands, but Gamblin is the only brand I've not had issues with. Now I know why. I never knew is was such a small company family run company. I thought it was just another large corp. factory. Super interesting to see how their paint is made, and to "meet" the very same people who mixed, filled, and packaged the paint I use almost daily. Thank you, Julian

What an amazing company and what a fascinating look into what they do. I love that Julian is so respectful of every artisan he meets and gives them all the credit they deserve. Another stellar video in the series!

Thanks to you, Julian and the folks at Gamblin for the wonderful insight into modern pigment. Worth a good share I reckon. Cheers.

I can't get enough of color. My senses are my addiction. I love how so many of these pigments are made from stones and minerals - the earth itself. I've always wondered how these pigments are made and what they are.

This was so interesting. Thank you, and thank you to Gamblin for allowing us in. I’ve always used acrylic paints. But looking at those buttery smooth and silky oil paints I have a strong desire to give them a try.

Your channel is one of my most favorite channels on KZread. I’m glad you’re doing this behind the scenes. I have a question for you. What do you know about cleaning lithographs and prints?

Love the Behind the Canvas series!

I absolutely love Gamblin paints, and Gamvar and Gamsol as well 🥰 What a treat it is to see the people behind the paints that bring me so much joy and allow me to express myself

Thank you for sharing your story behind the canvases. God bless you and your family.

this might be the most visual satisfying episode so far! and I really appreciate that this company is cleaning up a polluted river!

Gamblin is one of my oil lines, they’re fantastic quality, *consistant* and so accessible for artists

Thank you for allowing us behind the curtain! It is important to remember you get what you pay for and in the case of Gamblin, you are getting the very best.

Thank you for doing this series. I am enjoying it immensely, even still I'm also looking forward to the next restoration. Blessings

So happy you did this Julian! Thanks for the tour.

I never knew they still make these colors by hand! I was sure, that there is only these big machines who make the paint from the beginning to the end. Wonderful to see this!

You're really outdoing yourself with these videos. Thank you.

I love this series a lot! Watching people be passionate about what they do, and sharing their stories with the Internet.

As a colourblind person, this blows my mind... It's pretty much perfect pitch for a different medium!

How interesting!!! I thought that nothing can be as good as watching restorationas. Well This series is as much good and fascinating. Thank you!

I'm not an artist (can't even draw a decent stick figure) but that was very interesting. I have looked at the use of this type of paint for outdoor woodwork as it was used in the first half of the 1900s. Thanks for putting this out.

I had no idea about what it takes to make oil paints. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This was so cool! I love seeing how things are made. I paint, and never really thought about what went into making the colours I use. I will feel a little more reverent when putting paint on my palette. Thank you for showing us the behind the scenes of the art world. 🥰

It's wonderful to see that companies like this still exist. I was surprised by how small the batch sizes are, always a sign of quality. I'm not a painter, but I do live in Oregon and will stop in at my local art supply store and look for this paint.

Thank you Julian,...that was brilliant......Lapis Lazuli wasn’t mentioned....it deserves a programme for itself😁.....it was being mined in Afghanistan in the 7th Millennium B.C......arrived in Europe in the Middle Ages...was highly prized by the Renaissance artists...you can see that the veil of the Virgin Mary was painted in that colour...anyway I just love it🤩

this series is absolutely incredible and has taught me so much !! thank you !!

Another awesome episode!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

I love Gamblin paints. Their watercolour and acrylic paints are my favourite to use for all my paintings.

Its incredible to me that each color remains the same, year after year.
