Arthur Graham, the creator of M. Graham &
Co., has been in the business of making color for decades.
His expert knowledge and skill of paint making began at Grumbacher where he was instrumental in developing some of the most successful
paints in modern history. Many of his handmade paints have unique characteristics
not found in large corporately owned manufacturers. Furthermore, each
tube is hand filled.
Walnut oil is the base for M. Graham’s
Artists’ Oil Color. Lower cost and greater availability
has made linseed oil the most common base for artists’ paints
today. Walnut oil, according to Graham, does not yellow or crack as
much as traditionally used linseed oil. The free flowing
walnut oil allows delicate passages of finely blended color and achievement
of rich jewel like glazes without the addition of solvents.
Walnut oil as a medium is slow drying and free
flowing. Used as a brush cleaner, walnut oil is a non-toxic
substitute for turpentine and odorless paint thinner. Twenty-five
colors are available.
M. Graham Watercolor has a unique base as well. The
addition of honey helps maintain a moist palette of color. M.
Graham Artist Acrylic color is one of the most affordable professional
quality acrylics in the store.
