M. Graham 1/2-Ounce Tube Gouache Paint, Yellow Ochre

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

*Some technical bits below! in second paragraph*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!

Graham always a good paint

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! 👏🏼🎉

I have purchased these in many colors and they are consistently beautiful and have a wonderful matte finish. Well pigmented and professional quality. Gouache is really a pain to work with, in my opinion, but it can really have great results. These are not acrylic gouache, it will re-wet and cannot be layered - it’s a super delicate medium and it will dry quite a bit lighter so I try to mix the colors accordingly and mix up a good amount of paint if I need to use the same color again.

This is my first set of gouache paints I've ever owned, so I don't have much experience with them. Before I purchased these I researched a bit and found from other sources that this was a decent brand so I went ahead and bought them. The consistency in 4 out of 5 of these paints is beautiful, but I found that the Cobalt Blue had a very watery consistency from the rest of the paints. These are very opaque and thick paints and once watered down they have a beautiful wash to them, but the blue didn't quite hit the mark for me. I made a pretty quick example photo of all the colors at their most opaque (dry brush) and their most watered down, and as far as the blue goes there's no change in consistency.I also noticed that the Ivory Black tube had leaked paint and sticky residue from the bottom and seeped through the packaging. The Napthol Red was almost overflowing with paint as soon as I had opening the cap and I had to clean up some extra paint that poured out. They work great on different types of papers which I'm happy with though! As far as purchasing this goes, maybe it is a good choice to get a small set like this and build from there, but I'm not sure if I'll be purchasing from this brand again due to my first time experiences and considering I paid $35+ for it to turn out inconsistent and leaky.

I am not a professional artist. This paint is amazing for blending along with watercolors, especially for ocean scenes and flowers. If it dries out in my portable palette, it rehydrates easily with more water, just like watercolor paints.

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.

J’ai de l’aquarelle, de l’acrylique et de la gouache. J’adore la marque Graham. La gouache blanche est opaque et couvre bien. Je la recommande fortement.

This paint is fantastic. It has all the qualities that I love from watercolour alongside the layering capability of acrylic. I’ve used gouache in the past and didn’t like it because it dried so fast that it made usage somewhat cumbersome, so I specifically bought this one because I heard it had great rewet-ability and I was not disappointed. Even if it does dry you can easily add a bit of water and it will return to its full opacity and coverage with a little mixing. This makes it much easier to clean your brushes as well. The colours are also beautiful and vibrant. I am very very happy with these and super impressed with the quality.

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 .
