M. Graham Artists' Oil Paints are high-quality oil colours made with walnut oil. The only exceptions are the Fast-drying White, which contains an alkyd resin, and 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 colours. 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 colour of the pigments to shine through. In addition, walnut oil allows M. Graham to increase the amount of pigment in each colour, resulting in extraordinary richness, colour saturation, and tinting strength.
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.
