M. Graham Artist’' Watercolors are handmade with pure honey, gum arabic, glycerine and the most lightfast pigments available. Each color is individually crafted and produced in small batches to develop its own unique character. Colors made with honey do not dry up in the tube or on the palette and always dilute easily, often after months or years of disuse. Honey has been used extensively throughout the history of art as an ingredient in water base colors of all types.
