M. Graham & Co. Acrylic Paint Set 5-Colour + Titanium White — 59 ml Tubes, Highly Pigmented

This M. Graham & Co. 5 Colour Acrylic Set is a studio-ready selection of highly pigmented 2-ounce acrylic tubes, plus a free Titanium White for mixing and highlights.

Built from artists’ pigments and a pure acrylic emulsion, this compact set gives painters durable, vibrant colour without fillers or extenders. Manufactured in the USA, the GRM-22-SET is designed to deliver clean mixing, strong tinting strength and dependable coverage for sketchbook studies, plein air work, or studio experiments.

What colours are included and why were they chosen?

The set contains five primary and utility colours that cover a wide range of mixing possibilities, plus a bonus Titanium White to adjust value and opacity. Each tube is 2 ounces, sized for frequent use while staying portable.

• Azo Yellow — bright warm yellow useful for highlights and clean mixes
• Naphthol Red — vivid mid red for warm passages and glazing
• Ultramarine Blue — deep warm blue for skies, shadows and mixing
• Phthalo Green — strong cool green for foliage and vivid blends
• Mars Black — intense black for darks and contrast
• FREE Titanium White — opaque white for tinting and lightening

How does the paint perform on different surfaces?

M. Graham acrylics use a pure acrylic vehicle for reliable adhesion and quick drying on most primed surfaces. They handle well on canvas, wood panels, and heavyweight papers commonly used with acrylics.

• Canvas — adheres evenly with consistent brush marks
• Wood panels — strong bond, suitable for thin glazes or thicker impasto
• Acrylic-primed paper — good for studies and mixed-media work
• Giclee or printed surfaces — check priming first for archival concerns

How do these tubes mix and layer for colour work?

These paints are formulated without extenders or adulterants, so their pigment load and handling remain predictable when mixed. Expect potent tinting strength and reliable layering whether you thin with water or an acrylic medium.

• Mixing — high pigment load yields vivid secondary colours
• Glazing — thins to transparent layers while retaining colour integrity
• Layering — fast surface set minimizes scumbling into lower layers
• Opacity control — use Titanium White to raise opacity or phthalo for staining effects

What practical benefits does this set offer compared to single tubes?

Buying this curated set gives immediate colour versatility at a cost-effective price and removes the guesswork of which core hues to include. The included free white makes the kit ready to use for value studies and immediate mixing tests.

• Cost savings versus purchasing each tube separately
• Balanced palette for quick colour harmony and fewer extra purchases
• Ready-to-use 2-ounce tubes—portable and suitable for travel or classroom work
• Made in the USA—consistent production and quality control

Who is this for? This M. Graham & Co. set is ideal for artists who want a compact, professional-grade acrylic palette for travel, classroom instruction, or studio warm-ups. It suits beginners who need a reliable starter palette and experienced painters who want a high-pigment selection for sketching, colour studies, and mixed-media projects without fillers or unnecessary additives.
