M. Graham & Co. 2-Ounce Tube Gouache Paint, Titanium White

Excellent paint from M. Graham, as usual. Smooth and creamy right out of the tube, and keeps this consistency for a decent amount of time until it inevitably starts drying, like any paint out there. In gouache painting, I find it useful to have both a titanium white and a zinc white (also called Chinese white in other brands). The titanium white is very opaque and great when used alone as a white highlight; the zinc white is less opaque, and because of this it tends to mix cleaner, brighter colors. I find that colors mixed with titanium white tend to have a certain cast to them.

M. Graham makes the nicest paints. this is no exception. Its really fantastic. It comes out of the tube a fantastic consistency and lays down on paper opaque without streaking. Even adding to a cheaper gouache like arteza it improves the consistency and reduces streaking. Love this stuff.

The right paint makes a big difference and these primary colors are beautiful. Along with black and white I am enjoying all the different colors I can mix. Hyatts Graphic Supply Co., Inc did a great job with shipping.

Why on earth does this have only a three star rating?! I have never had absolutely any issue mixing or layering these paints- these are the BEST gouache paints I (and quite seriously, literally every other artist I know) have ever used. These gouache paints are worth every single penny. M Grahams gouaches have incredibly rich pigments, and by using honey in the base these have a consistency, flow, and beautiful texture both wet and dry that is just better than every other brand. No Im not endorsed or sponsored by them ( but I would absolutely jump at the chance heh) but these particular goache paints play up the very best of gouaches abilities- thick and straight from the tube these have a richness of them that plays perfectly to making oil-like paintings, and diluted these have a saturation in the pigments to make stunning watercolours that arent hazy or dull. I bought this for a birthday gift for my friend, who is also a fellow artist. Its VERY difficult to get any M. Graham paints in Ontario, and their gouache paints, especially, are like the search for the holy grail. Im very grateful to Hyatts (the seller when I purchased) for the good packaging on the box and that it shipped with tracking and without costing me an arm extra for additional duties fees. This was a decent price for the 5 basic colour set. And the shipping fees were minimal. A trip to Manhattan to go to art stores there would have cost me significantly more money. :)

Worked well

I love this gouache! It’s very easy to control and use. You can apply it thinly or very thick and opaque without it clumping on your paintbrush. You can make the thinnest of lines with it and gradually build it to get the most realistic highlights! I used to use a white gel pen and I absolutely loathed it—it was clumpy, hard to control the application correctly and it would not apply in a predictable way on the painting or drawing and leave a textured mess. This gouache is matte and as opaque as you want it to be without adding a texture to your painting or drawing. I highly recommend it!

It was the best brand for this color

I have only used this gouache a couple of times but I love it. It is a nice opaque white. It mixes well with Ph. Martin watercolor and used alone, goes on like butter. I paints smoothly and evenly. This gouache is reasonably priced, a great value. I highly recommend this for all artwork needs.

Bought gouache as a proxy for oil paint when I travel. Paint flows without a hitch with purity of color

I LOVE this gouache for several reasons. It really holds up when I add water to it and it VERY white! It covers very well and I dont need to add more than two coats to get the results Im looking for. I need this in a larger tube to keep on hand at all times. Will be permanently added to my favorite watercoloring tools.
