M. Graham
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.
Artists’ Gouache M. Graham
Graham fine art gouache is pure color—crafted with high-performance, lightfast pigments, each with its own natural opacity. There's no added chalk or adulterants that would degrade the appearance of the color when dry. By mixing white when, where, and how you want it, you’re in control of achieving the colors you imagine. The base of Northwest blackberry honey protects the color’s brilliance and offers direct, smooth application.
