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.

This works well, but why the warning label?
4 Stars
This works well, but why the warning label?
I occasionally use gouache paints when needing to add light on top of dark when using watercolors. I used this one today to add Lilac blossoms (mixed with white gouache). However, I was disconcerted to see the attached Warning label re cancer risk. I have never seen this on any of my watercolor tubes or gouache tubes before. Does anyone know why this is affixed to the tube? I did try to contact M. Graham on their web site, but message fails.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous luminous gouache!
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022
The picture doesn’t even begin to do these justice. Absolutely gorgeous colors with a luminous quality that has to be seen in person! 😻 These are the perfect mix of transparency and opacity in my opinion, exactly what I was hoping for with gouache.

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! 👏🏼🎉

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality. Creamy, matte, fluid gouache
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023
I have really enjoyed using this gouache from M. Graham (basic; has primary colors plus white and black) because it really extends on the paper without needing to load the paintbrush frequently; The matte is so pretty and the way it blends is so creamy and nice. I have noticed that m.graham gouache dries super fast yet color can still be lifted and mixed if you layer on top of it afterword-- this can be great for blending layers but also something to keep in mind of for layering blocks of solid colors. I am having fun painting again

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2022
I've avoided gouache for a while because of the cost, but I finally bit the bullet and bought this set and now Im obsessed. The colors chosen for this set are perfect for someone to start painting without getting confused by having too many colors. You can create any color you need from this set. I actually use a very similar color palette for oil painting called the "Zorn palette". You can paint anything you want with these, from portraits to landscapes and still life as well. The pigments are vibrant after just one pass, and very high quality. The fact that the medium in these is honey helps them to stay wet on your palette longer, so you waste less paint too. Really enjoying this set.

This is one of the best watercolour painting brand. Wonderful pigmented, smooth , bright colour. As it is honey based texture is so smooth and colour comes out so bright on paper. I have used many other best brands but this one is beyond them all. Bit pricey but worth the price. I am so happy with the product .
