Key features & specs

How it compares

M. Graham & Co. stands out from mass-market student-grade acrylics by using a high-solids resin rather than fillers. In comparison to standard craft acrylics or liquid pour paints, these heavy-body paints offer far superior structural integrity for palette knife work and thick applications. While more expensive than entry-level sets, the longevity and blending capabilities make them a more sustainable choice for long-term projects.

How to use it

1. Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto a glass or plastic palette to begin.
2. Mix with water or an acrylic medium to adjust transparency and flow.
3. Apply to primed canvas, wood, or paper using synthetic brushes.
4. Allow colors to dry fully for 30-60 minutes before layering.
5. Clean brushes immediately with soap and water to prevent hardening.
