M. Graham Intermediate 10-Color Watercolor Paint Set, 1/2-Ounce Tube

Amazing quality paints for watercolour artists.

Although a long-time user of other leading brands, I have been planning to try these for some time.They certainly live up to all the positive comments... They wet and reach a saturated, vibrant colour much faster than other watercolours. They mix beautifully, both on the pallet and in layered washes. Any watercolourist would be very happy with how these paints perform.Despite a seemingly higher price, they are actually excellent value for a professional watercolour paint. Each 15ml tube is 3x the usual tube size from other manufacturers. With a very high pigment load and using honey as part of the medium, this paint seems to look fresher and go further than other brands.This set of 10 colours has been really well considered... With very little effort, a full range of vibrant tints and shades can be created with simple mixes, which benefit from the extra depth and complexity of the pigments used.

I am simply obsessed with this product, I can’t put them away. As many other users of the brand have mentioned, they never fully dry on the palette and this makes then less than perfect for traveling, but no better candidate for studio work. I was very impressed as well when I went into their oficial website and found out their environmental commitment.

M. Graham & Co. is one of the best and favorite watercolor brands of artists and this set lets you experience why. It gives you the primary and secondary colors plus a few earth tones.Most colors are warm and the mixes look very natural and versatile. They are highly pigmented, intense and vibrant without being too bright, creamy but not runny, and won't be completely dry on your palette, so quite easy to rewet.For the quality and and the amount of watercolor, you really get the best value for your money.

I love this set. I'm a beginner and decided to go with professional grade watercolors first. I love that they don't dry up and stay somewhat tacky in my palette. The colors are very good and blend very well.

Out of all the watercolour brands that i have tried M. Graham are the most intense. You only need a little to create strong pigmented washes of colour. They're great in paintings where you aren't planning on doing a lot of layering as one layer already produces strong colour but would be great for layering as well. The colour choices are great as well though you might want to add a cool blue like phthalo blue and a cool red like quinacridone rose, other useful colours could be a neutral tint and a warm yellow like Indian yellow so you don't have to mix them all the time. It's also important to remember that they only come in 15ml tubes so they are better value than you'd think when comparing to other brands, at least where i'm from.

I am recently expanding my collection of M. Graham, and this was a great starting point. These colours are BEAUTIFUL. However, note that these paints are made with honey, so they aren't vegan, and they will take some time to dry down if you are putting them into a travel palette. My paints took a good month before I could tip my palette on its side safely. Also note, if you're painting outdoors with the paint in its liquid state, they will attract ants. But they are luminous and beautiful on the paper.

Vibrant colours. After placing them in my pans they have kept moist for months. A little goes a long way.
