Yes! finnally a fellow artist who likes M. Graham. I was trying lots of oil brands but this was the one I decided to invest in. I like the color brilliance, texture, and price point for what u get. Thought of trying Mussini oils but I'll probably never switch

Hello I paint whit Pebeo. I am a biginner painter and drawer. I need a big tube cause i use allot of paint and the oil paint of pebeo comes in 200 ml tubes and it cost 10 to 17 euro,s per tube. So i am happy. Thank you for this oil paint brand review. I loved it. 😊👋🏾👍🏾

Thanks for the tips! I have only tried one of those (W&N). I must try M Graham. But I may have a tip for you if you like soft consistency and long drying: Blockx oils (Belgian company). I love this brand although they are a bit expensive. You can sometimes find deals that are cheaper on Dickblick etc.

Loved this thank you. I paint impasto and just bought my first bunch of oils in Gamblin i was so happy to here they are so thick ..perfect for me...:)

W&N hands down my fav

M. Graham is good--I love their walnut alkyd. I need to try Williamsburg, Michael Hardy, and Blue Ridge (all high end handmade paints).

Excellent way to explain personal preference and reasoning. I generally get Gamblin because of the reasonably priced big tubes of just about any single pigment. They are a little stiff to me as well--just a little. M Graham is nice.

Sad that M Graham oil paint is hard to find here in Asia. Tried their watercolor paint before, very impressive! The colors are so vibrant yet the price resonal still. The ultramarine they provide is so beautiful.

I like M Graham’s titanium white. Since it’s a walnut based vehicle it doesn’t yellow over time as much like most linseed oil based brands. It’s all I use for my whites. My favorite paint would have to be Vasari and gamblin.

If you're a poor sob like me, buy whatever you can afford. If you are a richass, or you have a patron and you want the best, buy Old Holland.

student grade paints I love the van gogh from talens - like it way better than the georgian.

Wow you won oil paints? Thats asome i am so happy for you😊

Personally I find that I have less control with Georgian oils and it almost feels a bit too liquidy for me if that makes sense. I honestly prefer winton for student-grade oils.

According to WN website winton is for artists who need large quantities to do bald work. A lot of impastos I guess. Instead of adding impasto medium or extenders I suppose that it is handy to use winton stiff enough?

Hello young lady, you have a very easy listening voice, and not everyone does, lol, RGH is a brand I'm fond of, also Royal Talens in the Van Gogh, or Rembrandt. It's just a suggestion, I make my own now. Happy painting :)

2 questions: 1) have you ever tried water soluble oil paints & if so,, any thoughts: 2) the local art stores only carry the two large brand name paints... Windsor Newton & Grumbacher... where can one buy/order other better quality artist grade paints?

Very nice voice and clear pronoucoation.

Sennelier is excellent for those who want a thinner oil paint.

Winsor and Newton Artists' oil colour is my go to just because it's what I'm used to. There is a Crafts Warehouse near my house and they sell the M. Graham brand. I'm thinking about trying a few colors out from them because I'm curious about the walnut oil they use.

Great video! Very informative. I will have to try the M Graham someday. :)

Nice video - always nice to learn something new.

Thanks for the info! I love Winsor and Newton!

Overall I find that M Graham as a company, is one of my favorites. I do watercolor and gouache and just about to start into oils, I bought the starter set of gamblin because I wanted to give most popular company a try first, but I ended up ordering some m graham paints right after because I can't help it, I love their other paints, so I wanted to try their oils. they are snug in a box right now on their way to me, but after hearing your impression of them I'm pretty certain I'm going to enjoy them for sure!

Thank you! Excellent discussion, I subscribed. I did buy the large size of M.Graham titanium white which I purchased locally at a small store that I can walk to (Educomp in Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard). About as far as you can get from the west coast, but they had lots of it. I'm away at present in my alternate work area (western Maine) but I think M.Graham listed safflower oil which helps it dry slower. I actually like stiff paint - perhaps because I almost entirely use palette knives - and wish I could magically make the paint harden quicker. I put them in my truck cab in the sun sometimes if it is warm out. Has been all arctic weather here (below zero°F each day lately) so that's out. Oil paint hardens by oxidation of the oil, so heat and light and air motion speed the drying, cool and darker and still air slow the hardening.

Nice video. I didn't know some of the brands you've mentioned. Thank you. Have you ever tried Schmincke-Mussini? They are my favorite, after Williamsburg, Michael Hardling and some colors of Old Holland. I have some Gamblin tubes but I didn't try them yet...the brands I've mentioned are very expensive, but I've planned to buy them slowly and constantly and I've started with a limited palette plus white and black (yes, I use black and add some chroma to it so I do not have to waste those expensive colors, especially cad red and cad yellow!!!). I used to paint with Schmincke-Norma when I've started and i still have some tubes left, they cost less then Mussini's but they have the same high standard quality. It might sound I'm promotion Schmincke but I honestly don't, I just find then perfect for glazing technique especially for hiperealism painters. I have to try M.Graham, I guess they are suitable for my kind of painting. Well, thanks again, I think you deserve more subscribers and more visibility.

Can you use medium to make the Gamblin paint less stiff without diluting its color quality?

Vasari?

Great video, thanks. All realistic painter, I like use grumbacher colours, and I would like too, but it's impossible to buy grumbacher in Germany and in RuSsia🤔😟

Dislike Gamblin--it's thick and pasty and flat. I bought a tube of Thalo Blue (GS). Enhh.

What brushes do you suggest? I am so overwhelmed on that decision.

You say you liked the Grumbacher color because it dried slowly. But what does that mean? Like one time when i tried some oil colors, they didnt seem to ever dry. Even after 2 or 3 months, the paint surface was still wet to the touch (and i didnt even paint thickly). In the end i just threw the paints and the painting into garbage. The other oil colors i have tried, dried in 2-7 days...

Great Video Thank you so much!

I always wondered what does "Pre-Tested" by Grumbacher actually means? Other paint manufacturers don't pre-test their paints? Do any of them "post-test" them?

Did you end up liking the new Grumbracher Pre-Tested?

Why would you want oil paint to dry slower???

Can I use all the products of dealer rownway??

Check out Nevskaya Palitra Master Class 1934 brand. They're great. Price to Quality Ratio.

gamblim for the money.

M Graham are mixed with walnut oil but the most of the other ones are with linseed oil.. The question here,, Can you work with these different brands together even when they don't have the same oil? Can you tell us about the odor of the artists grade paint.. I have tried only Rembrandt and it was a thick and couldn't stand the smell, in close place.. So Hope I will get some info soon because I am planning to buy a whole sett of paint after I throw all I had. THANKS

what series of winsor newton do you use? I use series 2

I want to buy set of Gamblin please what is the price and how they deliver cause I'm from Tanzania

how much would 8 colors cost from a cheap brand that would last around 20 medium sized paintings?

Did you ever test the newer Grumbacher paint? Was it as good as the old one?

Umton has really nice oil paints. ;-)

Have you tried Old Holland?

Vasari

I got student grade winsor newton oil colors and very dissappointed ☹️

youn missed the best: talens rembrandt.

And also why does it take 8 hours to paint??? I paint in like 1 hour
