Torrit Waters

Robert Gamblin sponsors a competition each year using a monochromatic palette of only Torrit Grey, white and black. From their website:

"Every spring, Gamblin Artists Colors collects a wealth of pigments from our Torrit® Air Filtration system. We filter the air around the areas where we handle dry pigments so that our workers are not exposed to pigment dust. Rather than sending any of our high quality, expensive pigments into the landfill, Gamblin paint makers recycle them into "Gamblin Torrit Grey".

"Pigment dust should not go into the earth, water or landfill, but into paint," says Robert Gamblin.

So, I used my tube of this year's Torrit Grey create this painting.
