Hey there it's Antrice and welcome to another episode of the Sabby Painter

0:07.6

podcast. Hey guys I am really excited to share this week's episode with you, but before we get there, I have something

0:15.3

really exciting to tell you. This is such an honor because I get to give you guys the scoop. Nobody else knows about this yet. Are you ready?

0:27.0

So Gamblin, the brand you know and love and a huge supporter of the Zabby Painter podcast for the first time in their 40 year history

0:36.3

is selling direct.

0:38.6

That's right.

0:39.6

You can go to their website and buy paint directly from them. This isn't just another site where you can buy the

0:45.5

staple gambling materials, it's where you go to get the goods you can't easily find anywhere

0:50.9

else and you can get it directly from the factory. So check this out for

0:55.6

yourself because if you're looking for Torret Gray, this is your best bet. Not only

1:00.9

that, but you can buy individual tubes of reclaimed earth colors.

1:06.2

You can get the varnish brushes and the same gear worn by the team over at Gamblin.

1:11.2

It's the stuff you wouldn't easily find anywhere else, priced honestly, and direct from

ultramarine blue and see paint coming out of the mill like all this like we get to hold this stuff in our hands in a tube that

1:44.5

fits in our hands there was just big buckets of ultramarine blue that was

1:49.2

coming straight out of the mill and I was just like freaking out in heaven. It was so cool. I know the people

1:55.6

at Gambling, I guess maybe if you work there you get used to seeing it every day, but as an artist,

2:01.0

I was losing my mind and trying to be cool, trying not to be the total fan girl.

2:05.6

I was just sitting there going, wow, this is amazing.

2:08.1

Oh my God, and in my head I'm like, oh my God, oh my God, I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is so cool. So the cool thing was to like sit there and watch them actually make the paint that I use every day. But because they are so hands errors that machines would normally miss.
