If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I love M Graham gouache. But, for a completely different reason than anyone else.
I’m nearly blind. I literally need my glasses to find my glasses. Do you remember Velma from Scoobie Doo? If so, you probably remember when she’d lose her glasses. She’d be feeling the floor trying to find them.
That’s me. I can’t see shit without them. I have to feel around the house until I find them.
I cannot drive without my glasses either. No way. I’d kill somebody.
So, what does that have to do with watercolors?
Well, I also have the controversial opinion that high end watercolors are high end watercolors. I’m not a watercolor brand stickler. I’m not a brand stickler for anything though. Guitars. Cars. A good tool is a good tool. The brand is secondary.
Smell
So, going back to not being able to see shit, my other major senses are way better than the average person’s. It’s because I rely on them more.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she stinks, that’s three strikes. I can’t get past that.
And on the flip side, I love a good perfume. I only have two bottles of cologne – a Tom Ford and a Versace. Yes, they’re expensive but they make me smell good.
Likewise, a +1 to a woman who knows how to smell good.
M Graham gouache smells good. So, Blick stores had a killer sale on this French made Sennelier watercolor paints. They’re honey based. So what does Roman do? He buys them.
The next question – how do they paint?
Well, first I have to paint with them. Part II coming up in 30 days as I want serious time with them before an honest review.
