<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:3.0pt'><font size=3 face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>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). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:3.0pt'><font size=3 face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:3.0pt'><font size=3 face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>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).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
