[Aquanet] New M.Graham paints

Art Purveyors (Artpurveyors.com) and Rochester Fine Arts (Rochester
<http://www.fineartstore.com/cgistore/store.cgi?page=/mainpage.html&setup=%2
3%23AGENTID>  Fine Art Store) both have them listed now.

 

Diana Graham has considered their Quin Violet PV19 as the closest to magenta
in the past.  It is very similar to WN Permanent Magenta, bluer and duller
than PR122.

Sounds very exciting, Barry. I look forward to your article in Watercolour
Gazette. I haven't seen the new colors myself, so I can't comment on the
colors. Too bad about the PR 122, seems to me that is a staple now. I wonder
if they consider Quinacridone Rose PV 19 a suitable substitute? I went to
their web site and don't find the new colors posted yet. Nor do I find them
on any of the major online retailers. Does anyone know where these paints
are available?

M.Graham & Company have recently doubled the number of paints offered in
their watercolor line, and their range now offers most of the watercolor
paints commonly used.  The only important paint missing, in my opinion, is a
high-saturation quinacridone magenta (PR122).  

I like these new offerings, and some of them will go onto my palette right
away, displacing some pretty good paints I have been using from other
manufacturers. I especially recommend Quinacridone Rust, Nickel Azo Yellow,
Cobalt Teal, Scarlet Pyrrol, and Bismuth Yellow. 

Equivalent paints of almost all of their offerings are available from other
top quality manufacturers as well (such as Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith,
and Schmincke), but the M.Graham paints offer their uniquely smooth handling
qualities, including resistance to caking and drying on the palette.  The
only paint for which I have not found another "main-stream" offering is
Ultramarine Pink (which is however available from Old Holland).

I am preparing a more detailed review, which will be submitted to
Watercolour Gazette.  It is too long to post here.
