1980 Oil Color Exclusive Set

Amazing paints! They dont change color much if any while drying and mix perfectly.

I just started oil painting and needed a quality basic set. This set is very nice and the box it comes in is also a primed board for painting on. Some of the paints are a little oilier than others, but i think that depends on the amount of pigment needed. The paint is very smooth and comes with a safflower oil medium as well. So far, I really like Gamblin. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good starter set.

I was worried about the shipping but it was packaged really well, the paint quality is perfect. It even comes with painting medium. I usually use linseed oil, but this works too. The smell is a little strong, and it takes about a week to dry. The colors are super pretty and easy to mix and blend. It works greats and I’d totally buy it again.

This is a good value in terms of student quality paints. You can mix any color with this set very easily and the tune of medium is a nice touch. Out of the tube it’s a little pasty and thick. I purchased this for a project that called for oil paint and it has been curing for four weeks without issues. I’ll look toward gambling the next time I need oil paints, probably an artist quality next time.

I got the paints today, 3/24/2026. The paints are in excellent condition. Thank You.

These are good paints for canvas!

Working with these oils is fun - the paints are thick, so they can be thinned out quite a bit with Gamsol, so the value is there. Many complain about missing colors - everything is here to make any color imaginable - get a color chart and learn how to mix your colors! You'll have fun and learn to manage your palette with a limited set of base colors. The paint is smooth & refined, not your average student set of cheap paint here at all, this is the good stuff. I highly recommend this Gamblin set.
