Review: 5 Thumbs up for M. Graham Watercolor "basic set" (one for each color) - M first try with M. Graham Watercolors and love them. First discovered M Graham when looking to replace my old W/N Titanium White Gouache. And when I saw the price of a replacement with W/N brand, I said "let's try M. Graham, the price is right and how bad can it be?". And am thrilled I did as the Gouache is fantastic and mixes perfectly with watercolor. So that's the backstory. Now for these paints. The consistency of their Watercolors (and gouache too) make them a pleasure to work with. Creamy. mix well on palette or paper (the painting surface). Plus they are USA made :) by a small company in Oregon. Gotta love that! So now about this set of "basic" colors. I really didn't have high hopes because usually, the "primary" sets (or basic sets) usually lean too warm or too cool, or in the case of Daniel Smith 5ml starter kit, too extreme for me (though certainly contain lovely colors). But this set is a great "primary" set with some surprising extras. The details for the "primary colors" in this set: - The Azo yellow is a very pure primary yellow and has great tint and mixing strength which "yellows" often lack. - The Ultramarine Blue is not the "warm" blue that you get with the French Ultramarine Blues that always lean to purple. I would classify this as fairly pure "primary blue" category. And when mixed with the Azo yellow you really can have a great range of really very pure greens.. - The Permanent Alizarin Crimson is the "good stuff". Leans cool, as expected, but mixes really well with the Ultramarine Blue for very rich purples and definitely is more "red" than purple. Surprising ability to mix this with all the colors in the set to create neutrals as well as purer color. Now for the last two "bonus colors" (at least that is how I think of them) - Burnt Siena - This is a very rich and creamy middle brown. It does not lean to the "red" and does not lean to the blue. It is really a neutral brown. So for this set, by itself, it is very pleasing, but mixed with any of the other colors and you are able to achieve rather remarkable neutrals and very interesting greens, reds, purple/blues, etc - Sap Green - A fresh sap green and definitely a bonus color in this set, You could call it a "convenience color" as the ability to mix greens from the other colors is phenomenal. And when used a "base" green to add the other mixes in it really comes alive with variety and richness. No worries on even adding the Permanent Alizarin Crimson to this to mute your greens easily... it all works! What else am I trying with these basic colors? - I have also been playing with the Daniel Smith Neutral Tint watercolor with these and the mixes are wonderful, subtle and rich - Also using White Gouache (M. Graham brand) and the "tints"are clean and pure. (I paint thicker than most watercolor peeps and work with both the transparency of watercolor and opacity of gouache in the compositions. Google Nathan Fowkes for examples of what this technique can yield) Couldn't be happier with this set! Highly recommended if you are: - New to watercolors and want to try out a great mixing affordable set (professional grade) - New to color mixing (easy to get it right and also easy to see where you went wrong) - You want a very simple palette of base colors for Plein Air usage (I use this set + white gouache + neutral tint and have all I need which replaces my previous field set of 14 colors... ah simplicity!)
Review: Best paint I’ve used - I purchased the Marinescape set and an additional single color, Azo Yellow. I can get a wide variety of colors from mixing with these six paints. The packaging was loose in the box but it did not harm the products by not being cushioned with other packaging. The tubes opened easily and a few seemed lightly pressurized as the paint came out quickly but not so bad that it was hard to control. Prussian blue however was a little crazy coming out, maybe it had a little more paint in it than the others. When freshly out of the tubes and painting I noticed a swampy/earthy smell emitting from the paint. Maybe something with how the honey reacts to the pigment? It becomes less and less noticeable the more the paint firms up. I believe it to be a non issue as the paint performs beautifully and it’s exceptionally vibrant. The paintings I’ve done with these paints are eye catching and more lively in color compared to my previous paintings. I did the color chart in a quick, messy manner so I’m sure there are better examples online but I think this set plus a more primary yellow produces every color you could need. I’ve previously used Qor and Winsor and Newton (Cotman first, then artist grade). M Grahams are my new favorite and I can’t imagine going back to my other paints. High quality, transparent, vibrant color. I live in Tennessee where it is reasonably humid. The paint firms up well on an open palette but it’s sticky to the touch. It doesn’t flow around or melt out of place. It is also setting up in half pans just fine, though normally I’d wait 1-2 days for other watercolor to dry out in half pans I’m waiting 3-4 for these paints since I’ve heard others say they take longer. Good value for the quality you get.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ M. Graham paints are magic in a tube
*by P***R on August 12, 2025*

Great little set of paints and good value for money. Can’t wait to try them out again, but M. Graham paints have always been excellent quality and their honey added and silky consistency. The tubes are a good size and work well even when stored for months. The colors pop and are vibrant which is why I love this brand and have continued to use them for years.
