Art Supply Series: Paints

I use many mediums, but I primarily use paints and inks on a daily. When I first started getting into painting, I wanted to try watercolor. When a French comic artist had drawn and colored her comic using watercolor, her work was an inspiration for me. I was still very interested in Japanese comics called manga, so the ink was a staple. I use multiple watercolor brands, but my go-to for sketches and most paintings is my M. Graham paints. M. Graham is an excellent American brand I heard of in 2018. By then, I had already used professional brands like Schmincke horadam a German watercolor brand that is still a favorite of mine( being my first professional brand). M. Graham also has gouache and oil paints in their paints line that I will mention for now. Their paints use honey as a base with high pigment load making them easily re-wet. Although I primarily use M. Graham I use a Holbein Jaune brilliant number NO. 2 as the base for many of my skin tones.

Jaune brilliant No. 2 is the last color on the top row.
