How about M.Graham watercolor brand introduction

M. Graham, also from the United States, has gained a large number of fans for his renaissance of materials and the revival of small-batch slow grinding, and has been able to compete with Daniel Smith in the American market less than 30 years after its establishment. After being included in the high-end watercolor review lists of YouTube and Douban, it has gradually accumulated a considerable number of users in China and Europe, and Daniel Smith has the momentum of catching up with traditional manufacturers.
 
M.Graham was founded by two painters who were passionate about the revival of pigments, so the selling point of his pigments overlapped with the old Netherlands with a history of more than 300 years: high pigment concentration, extremely strong tinting power, and a small amount of paint to achieve the effect. The small-batch, slow-speed grinding method used by M.Graham is also similar to the manual grinding of old Holland, with fine and uniform pigment grains. However, M.Graham's watercolor is appropriately added with honey with its own moisturizing function, so that its diffusion ability has been highly evaluated, and the color mixing and rendering are natural and not stiff, and the effect is comparable to that of Merry Blue.
 
Taking advantage of the convenience of the United States as the world trade center, M.Graham can easily obtain international high-grade pigments, but due to the short history of the brand and the development of pigments, M.Graham's watercolor is only 70 colors, which is far less than the rookie Daniel Smith, nor the old Windsor Newton, Sminck, Murray, Old Holland, etc. Among the 70 colors of watercolor, there are 55 colors of single pigment watercolor and 63 colors of strong and durable watercolor, which account for a relatively high proportion and are not difficult to choose.
 
The M.Graham plant is a small batch and the supply is tight, and it is not easy to get started in many European countries. The price of watercolor is only slightly lower than that of Daniel Smith, 15ml is sold for 9-16 US dollars, or 60-110 yuan, of which the lowest price S1 grade is mostly black, white, gray and brown and other impractical colors, so the actual average price is higher.
 
M.Graham does not produce solid color, 15ml is already the smallest package, but the strong moisturizing property of watercolor makes it very suitable for sub-packaging, and group purchase is recommended. In addition, since the founder is a professional painter, M. Graham only offers a 5-color and 10-color basic set, which ranges from $30 to $55, which is much more affordable than a single purchase, but unless you are a master of color grading, it is recommended to make up the color.
