RE: Gum Tri-Color Yellow

Katherine,

Does M. Graham have a web site? Chris mentioned M. Graham as a quality
source of watercolor last summer I believe (during the Summer of Gum).

Also it seems like the Gum Overists are using dry pigments instead of tubed.
Is there an advantage of one over the other?

Don
