M. Graham Artist Oil Paint Naples Yellow 1.25oz/37ml Tube

I like Daniel Smith oil paints. The colors are deep and rich and have good body. I find them especially adaptable for close rendering and detail work or portraits.

I like M. GRAHAM paints - they are all thick and creamy and the color is rich. Just be careful if you put it on a portable palette ... if the palette gets set on its side, the paint can slide, it is that creamy.

Excellent quality and vibrant, rich colors. That they are made in the USA and ethically manufactured is a priceless bonus. Art, in my opinion, should inspire and help make the world a better place. I am willing to spend a bot more, not only because the product is of better quality, but it allows me to not taint my artwork with lesser products. Besides, I personally could not, in good conscience, create "art" with products possibly made in dubious or even forced-labor facilities. With M. Graham and Co., the products are rich in both quality and ethics.

ABOUT THE COLOR: I normally use raw or burnt umber for the same purposes as the Van Dyke. I had to buy this color in order to study with a really good teacher, and she did not lead me astray. Love it. This color is between the two umbers, and reads as more a more neutral color.ABOUT M. GRAHAM OIL PAINT: these folks are getting more and more of my art-supply dollars, as I use their walnut alkyd medium for its quicker dry time with transparent luster; and I use their walnut oil INSTEAD of paint thinner for cleaning my brushes! The oil is non-toxic, with no odor, and conditions brushes as it cleans between colors. (As with any paint, I use soap and water at the end before putting brushes away.)M. GRAHAM OIL PAINT vs ACRYLIC: Acrylic dries darker than it goes on. <-- Lather, rinse and repeat this sentence, and let it sink in deeply! Acrylic's darker-dry-color makes it impossible to rework skin tones. What you see is never what you get with wet acrylic paint! And it KEEPS on darkening, year after year. With oil, what you see is what you get. BRAVO M. GRAHM for going the extra mile and helping painters making oil paint non-toxic perfection!!!! Long live oil paint, and thank you M. Graham!!!!!

A devout user of M Graham. Delivered in fine shape.

I have been using the M. Graham oil paints for a little while now. I like them for a number of reasons. Like all products, there are positive and negative qualities. The paint color is excellent; these are professional quality paints. The consistency is very smooth. They are very soft and remain nice to work with on the palette for some time. They are walnut oil based. This is nice in that they are considered a healthier painting option for some people. They do seem to dry slowly. You can take this as a positive or negative depending on your painting style.I have one tube that has separated somewhat; I am not sure which color it is offhand, a blue I think. I am always trying to find the perfect oil for my style. These are as close as any I have tried. To be fair, I still have a number of reputable brands to try yet. I bought all but this tube from a different reputable supplier; I missed having a ready purple after they were delivered. If you like to paint; give them a try. I would recommend this line of paints, especially if you are uncomfortable with oil paint solvents. Remember, you are a little limited in terms of media. I have mixed then with traditional oils, but I have been leery of using media for oils with these paints.

If you're like me, you found M Graham oils because you had a terrible reaction to the solvents in mass produced oil paints as well as using solvents to thin paint and clean brushes. Winter will do that for you when you can't open windows. So I found M Graham, ordered the sample set, and just used them today for the first time. First impression...WOW! I can see using these exclusively...and that's good because I think I have to. The intensity of the pigment worried me until I actually used them...no need to worry...the color depth and strength of these paints is wonderful. The consistancy? As many others have said...smooth, creamy, buttery...love the feel of the walnut oil binder as opposed to linseed (or other).I also did some glazing today and used the Walnut Alkyd...jury is still out...the result is a bit shiny for me (but then so is Liquin), and we'll see how fast the layer dries. Clean up was hard without Turpenoid, but I can live with that. The walnut oil did seem to keep my brushes soft and supple though...I'm sure I'll figure out the best way to clean after some experimentation. Might try a product called Neutral Thin from EcoHouse just for cleanup. It's supposed to be virtually non-volitile...we'll see.I'm so excited about these paints! What a find. And this little kit is a great way to try the oil products from M Graham...the essential palette colors in an inexpensive set, plus the walnut oil mediums. Don't hesitate to try this kit.

Every manufacturer’s oil colors vary despite bearing the same color name. I depend on the performance of M Graham’s Naples yellow.

A very bright yet natural yellow imparting rich tones. One of my new favourite colours which was recommended by a fellow artist. I wish I had bought a larger tube. I recommend these paints (and this colour).

Mixes well with solid colours too.

This paint is absolutely amazing. Works with many different techniques. Nothing beats M. Graham. The colours are bright and true. This paint is thin and oily though so it may not work for some.

Love this perfect set,needs a brush

M. Graham Oils are absolutely the best bang for your buck. Though similar to other more budget professional brands in pricing, they punch above their weight in quality. I love their watercolours and have been a fan for many years. I am now a fan of their oils, of how smooth and pigmented they are. I can get the larger M. Graham 150ml tube for the price of a 40 ml tube in those high-end brands -- especially for some expensive pigments like cobalt and cadmium and still have some money left over to pay rent!
