From the manufacturer
History & Mission
M. Graham & Co. was founded 25 years ago by two artists with a passion for oil painting and the Renaissance masters.
Both founders graduated with fine art degrees in the 1970s, exactly at the time when artists were beginning to voice concerns about the health effects from toxins in their art materials.
They set out to create a fine art supply company that would serve artists by providing them with safe, high-quality, solvent-free oil colors that would be worthy of the masters.
M. Graham is a pioneer in bringing back the traditional art of hand-crafted, small batch paint made with the historic natural bases of walnut oil and honey.

I bought a set of 18 Holbein colors first and did not care for them AT ALL 😐. They were super neon and garish colors that just don’t suit my taste. I was having to mix 3 or 4 colors to even achieve hues that I could kind of use, as there was only one color I liked on its own. Also the consistency of Holbein was super thick and I found that I was always accidentally using and wasting WAY too much paint and couldn’t get the right amount of water to make it smooth easily.
The colors I got from M. Graham are just as vibrant as Holbein with a much nicer and smooth consistency. Some people complain that they are not opaque enough but you can very easily make these as creamy as you like with just a touch of Titanium white. I also noticed that these don’t dry out as fast on my ceramic palette and rewet much nicer than Holbein.
I got Viridian, Prussian Blue, Quinacridone Rose and Quinacridone Red to start. I picked these colors to mix specifically because I love them and they are non-toxic. There seems to be a lack of yellow color options in gouache that aren’t toxic so I mixed my own using M. Graham Titanium white and Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Deep. Mixed some lovely pastel colors using the white as well. So happy with these! 👏🏼🎉

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023
I've been using M. Graham gouache since 2019 with a few other artists/professional grade brands of gouache, and I trusted the gouache enough to purchase their 2oz/59ml tube of Zinc White. The fact that the company offers a large tube of this pigment for a really good price is great, I tend to use more Zinc White than Titanium White, so this was definitely a great purchase. Although Zinc White naturally tends to be hard, this Zinc White from M. Graham is easy to reconstitute!
It's an amazing Zinc White, especially since its made of PW4 Zinc Oxide, not PW5 Lithopone (a compound mixture of Barium Sulfate and Zinc Sulfide). I think it's worth checking whether a brand's Zinc White is made of PW4 or PW5, because Zinc Sulfide, without cobalt dopants, can darken and grey to even a blackish color. I don't trust that other gouache manufacturers make sure that their PW5 is doped with cobalt salts, not do I want to do a lot of research to find out. However, I find that it is my responsibility to make sure that my gouache paintings are as lightfast as possible, so I prefer to do some research to find out whether the pigments I'm using are stable in even strong light.
All in all, this was a great product, and this is a wonderful product. I will be sure to buy this Zinc White from M. Graham again!
