M. Graham : Artists' Oil Paint : 37ml : Set of 5 Colors & 2 Mediums

This range consists of seventy-five carefully crafted colors, all made with Walnut Oil apart from a Fast-drying White, which contains an alkyd resin, and a Titanium White which uses Sunflower Oil.

Most modern paintmakers use Linseed Oil as a binder for their oil paints, occasionally making use of non-yellowing oils such as Safflower or Poppyseed oil for whites and pale colors. M. Graham Artists’ Oil Paints are made with Walnut Oil, a clear, free-flowing, slow-drying and non-yellowing oil which was used extensively by the artists of the European Renaissance. The pure American Walnut Oil used by M. Graham dries to a clear film which will not yellow, allowing the true color of the pigments to shine through.

These excellent quality oil paints can be mixed with any other oil paints and mediums (even those that contain alkyd resins), and are all solvent-free. They flow more freely from the tube than most artist oils, and remain wet for longer.

This set includes five M. Graham oil paints in 37ml tubes: Azo Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Napthol Red, Phthalocyanine Green and Titanium White. Also included are two 59ml M. Graham oil painting mediums: Walnut Oil Medium, a slow-drying oil which increases fat and flow; and Walnut Alkyd Oil Medium, which combines the advantages of Walnut Oil (enhanced flow; a reduction of yellowing) with the quick-drying time of an alkyd oil.
