M. Graham Artist Oil Paint Naples Yellow 1.25oz/37ml Tube

M. Graham is one of my go-to paints. The colors are vibrant, durable, and are almost always the perfect consistency right out of the tube. I like that their binder is alkyd-based walnut oil which dries faster than linseed oil. Oil paint is very user friendly due to its slow drying time compared to acrylic. This gives beginners time to familiarize themselves with the medium and make mid-course corrections while the paint is still wet. Colors blend well but it does take practice to achieve the right effect. Also, this paint was less expensive from this seller than the online art retailers I usually use, not to mention the convenience of not having to purchase over $65 worth of supplies to get free shipping. All-in-all, very happy with the paint, very happy with the seller.

ABOUT THE COLOR: I normally use raw or burnt umber for the same purposes as the Van Dyke. I had to buy this color in order to study with a really good teacher, and she did not lead me astray. Love it. This color is between the two umbers, and reads as more a more neutral color. ABOUT M. GRAHAM OIL PAINT: these folks are getting more and more of my art-supply dollars, as I use their walnut alkyd medium for its quicker dry time with transparent luster; and I use their walnut oil INSTEAD of paint thinner for cleaning my brushes! The oil is non-toxic, with no odor, and conditions brushes as it cleans between colors. (As with any paint, I use soap and water at the end before putting brushes away.) M. GRAHAM OIL PAINT vs ACRYLIC: Acrylic dries darker than it goes on. <-- Lather, rinse and repeat this sentence, and let it sink in deeply! Acrylic's darker-dry-color makes it impossible to rework skin tones. What you see is never what you get with wet acrylic paint! And it KEEPS on darkening, year after year. With oil, what you see is what you get. BRAVO M. GRAHM for going the extra mile and helping painters making oil paint non-toxic perfection!!!! Long live oil paint, and thank you M. Graham!!!!!

The Titanium White is a brilliant bright color. It mixes nicely and the resulting admixes are clean and don’t get muddy with three or four added colors. It brushes on nicely with great coverage. The drying time is looooong.

Out of all of the oil paints I have M Graham delivers the highest color payload. Amazing paint, gorgeous color and very nice feel. Looking forward to incorporating this one into my repertoire.

Love this paint. I used it for a painting workshop I took with the great Arthur Gain. (An alla prima workshop.) He recommended using a fast-drying white, and I chose M Graham’s white, because it seems a little higher quality than W&N Griffin (which is okay, don’t get me wrong). Lovely paint! Love the drying time.

Decided to try this, as the color is not available from Windsor Newton anymore. Color is good, but the tube arrived with a sizeable dent. It was just thrown into an envelope, Amazons new packing procedure. Don’t know how this will affect long term use of tube. At almost $18 a tube they could have put a piece of cardboard around it or a small box for protection

Nice dark brown!!!

Arrived in perfect condition, smells as an oil paint should smell, spreads and covers the canvas nicely when using linseed oil, and sticks great to the canvas. Just make sure to let oil paint dry properly before touching or it'll smudge. The quality is very good and blends with other oil paints without any issue. The color is exactly what it should be.

Always good

Would buy again but l would use these sooner than later when open as they dry out pretty quickly when open so good but not long lasting than original oils

If you have more colour to sale , this is more good new to me.

Muy buena pigmentación. Se secan muy lento y el kit está muy bien.

The packaging is clean and reusable; the colors were vibrant and easy to use, all without a harsh smell that some of the other oil paints products seem to produce. Would recommend.
