Michael,

Thank you for responding. Yes I think I will like these colors. They have a strong staining power, that will be nice in glazes. Perhaps with a little lindseed based medium within my layers, the strength will be improved also. I've noticed that my other paints (W&N) all have safflower oil in them, while I was assuming that they were linseed based. This was what prompted me to try the Graham product. I'd tried Gamblin, without much complaint, but, and this may sound silly, the caps on the tubes are too small and actually break off in my hand. Not all on the colors get me too excited either. Anyway, this isn't about them. I'm 1/3 into the new still life, I won't post it here, but I'll let you know how it goes if your interested.
