Titanium White
This Titanium White is smooth, glossy and impaso. We wish we knew exactly what was in it from an archival materials perspective. There is a much smoother look to this Titanium than some others, and Gamblin's version has a very cohesive surface. We tested three of the Gamblin white colors (each only lists PW6 as the pigment) and they behaved very differently. The tinting strength of the Gamblin Titanium white was in between Gamblin’s Radiant White (higher tinting strength) and Gamblin’s Flake White Replacement (lower tinting strength). The normal Gamblin Titanium White was around halfway between the other two as far as its tinting capacity. The creation of this white paint blend is part of the Gamblin origin story.
Gamblin describes this as a buttery texture, however that is open to interpretation. They call it “an ideal middle ground of texture…break[s] cleanly and quickly from the brush and make a beautiful, crisp impasto mark.” More information about Gamblin’s white colors can be found at: https://gamblincolors.com/getting-the-white-right-by-robert-gamblin/
