Oh my 😱 That Rose of Ultramarine & Tundra Violet is sooooo gorgeous - drool 🤤

Could you tell me which granulating paints you recommend for painting dogs and/or birds? Thank you xxx

Wow! Ive heard of granulating paint, but only used context clues to imagine what they were. I imagined they'd produce the same effect as adding salt to watercolors. It's very intriguing to see what they're actually about. I can imagine the Tundra Violet would be perfect for making storm clouds & the Rose of Ultramarine may work well in my blood cell paintings. Thanks for making this video. It was nice stumbling upon it a 3am. Edit: I'm very curious about how these mix with one another, non granulating paint & metallics.

Thank you for a very professional and fun explanation…my only problem is now…which ones to choose 😀

Love this video! My latest favorites are the lunar blue and cascade green. The lunar blue didn't show up well on my screen because it's SO much more beautiful in real life. Another thing to consider when using granulating paints is the paper. I can't afford to use something like Arches for swatching, and playing with the paints to see what they'll do, but the granulation (and the separating colors) doesn't come through nearly as well with lower quality paper. I also didn't realize how much of a difference the amount of water made until I got the Gansai Tambi paints and let some dry in a puddle in my palette. Wow, what a difference. So it gave me a new appreciation for all the Daniel Smith granulating colors I have. Thanks for talking about this, I wish I would have seen your videos on granulating paints a long time ago. They are my favorites even if I wasn't using them to their full advantage. Thanks!

Love this palette…the orange ❤ those blues and greens 🎉

Salivation warning was valid.

Love these paints and they are all part of my routine use.

Very helpful, thank you 😊

Rose of Ultramarine is made with only one granulating pigment. PB29, Ultramarine Blue. PV19 is a Quinacridone violet pigment, ranging from Quin Reds, Quin Rose to Quin Violets. None granuate at all unless a granulating medium is added to it.

Did you ever tried the Rockwell self evolving mineral watercolor?

How is your voice so peaceful, pure and gentle, and your art so dark and challenging haha

guessing I'm a little late for the dot card giveaway, huh? love your style and your content. thank you. ❤

Really enjoyed this video. TYSM. Q: what does the word “genuine” mean in the name Green Apatite Genuine?

I am so interested in how you use watercolor for dark subjects so I am definitely interested in hearing that even if it’s a niche subject.

completely get where you are coming from. on another note, this suject looks uncannily like my daughter, really its her double.

Why no Videos the last year?? 😢

This is the best video I have ever seen about gratulating watercolors. Thank you so much !

👏👏❤❤☘☘🌹🌹❤❤👏👏

What happened? You disappeared and. Just found you today. 😐

I appreciate your warning but you’re talking to fellow watercolor hoarders. I mean…….

Love your videos!! I also love the brush you used in this video with its lovely sharp point. What is it ( if you don’t mind) Thank you!

So, did any of us expect to ever have such a happy quarter of an hour watching paint dry??!

Just to add to the conversation, common granulating colors are ultramarine blue, Earth colors like burnt sienna, yellow ochre and burnt umber. So if you cannot invest in specific specialty paints atm, you can experience a lot of fun with these. Also, paynes grey and sepia are fairly active and fun. Also I believe PBK11 black is magnetic and moves a lot and interestingly can be added in tiny amounts to pinks, purples and greens to create the popular “dusk” colors some manufacturers are selling lately.

What a wonderful and helpful guide to the many characteristics of granulation! Thank you! 🙏🏻 QUESTION: is DS Moonglow the only fugitive color in this demonstration? I'm only using mine in sketchbooks now, after seeing drastic fading.

Thanks for another great video on granulating colors! Unfortunately, I just learned from another KZbin artist that Moonglow is not light fast as advertised. I had literally just purchased it the day prior and was watching videos about it. I guess the actual light fast testing is with on either oil or acrylic not for each specific medium. This person did their own lightfast tests and it faded immediately. The watering down must affect it. Total bummer. I plan to return it and create my own version based on the video (Kimberly something if you search Moonglow lightfast or create your own Moonglow you’ll find the video). Extremely disappointing but others should know. In fact, learning about this is how I eventually came across your channel, because then I went down a granulating watercolor rabbit hole! Happy to have found you!

I am just getting started with watercolor. Usually did mixed media and art journaling. I can no longer use my dominant hand fully (nerve damage), so I figured that the best way to continue creating would be abstract watercolor with my other hand. I am very drawn to granulating watercolors as I have always loved texture in my art. I really appreciate your videos sharing the pigment information plus examples. I am learning so much, taking notes on my phone even. I want to buy them all! But based on your sharing the pigment info I think I can start with just a few and work on experimenting with mixing as well. As I improve I can buy more. I just found you today, but I have already subbed and watched several videos. It is clear that you use your artistic skills and creativity in everything even your video editing. I know that takes a lot of time and planning. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent. Much appreciated.💖😄🫶🏻

Thank you!

Another great job of presenting.

Again, great video.

Great video. I’m just fascinated with paint right now. And your voice makes the video even better. Thank you. I will be watching for your videos.

I have been looking for good tutorials o,n granulation techniques. THANK YOU

Love Undersea Green, I have used it in a few paintings myself, just stunning. Have you tried the Serpentine Genuine? That is a lovely separating green too, it has brown specks that settle out, really pretty. Have recently also purchased Daniel Smith's Purpurite, wooo, thats a pretty colour. Also use their Sodalite Genuine, a really lovely Blue Black. I just Love Daniel Smith watercolours, fell in love from my first use years ago. Serpentine was the very first colour I purchased from the range, and I have been very slowly collecting colours ever since. ❤

Love the opera/Ultramarine combo - Yves Klein Blue vibes. Try Caput Mortuum Violet and Phthalo Turquoise. A stunning combo.

Thank you for showing me how to revel in the properties of granulating paint, instead of fighting it!

I need those paints. Look how gorgeously they change color like chameleon.

I'.....ll look away in the distance. I don't wanna talk about it. Because my painting ended up a flop. Again. 😂

What a comprehensive, fully loaded video. Thank you! 🙏☺️ I never knew you could lift out the top layer of pigments on multi-pigment granulating paints. So interesting and I can't wait to try it! Alvaro Castagnet recommends using Daniel Smith's Lunar Black to achieve moody, textured shadows in your pieces. I love using the Daniel Smith Cascade Green mixed with a little Ultramarine Blue for turbulent ocean waves or underwater plants.

Me with my waaaayy too much watercolour paper too 🤣

That Tundra pink oh my 😍

Sometimes I like to return to this video because quite frankly, it’s one of the best and most soothing watercolour videos out there. Mmmmm, granulating paints 🥰

Your brush I like ❤️

A great video. I makes me want to spend loads of money! Thank you, it is very informative.

I always get sad,when I see people who have fallen in the trap of devil doing yoga. You just don't know what you're actually doing to yourself

I’m in love with the Schmincke granulating paints. I think I have 14 of them now. Can’t resist!

Do you find that the colors are more granulating fresh out of the tube more than after they dried and are reconstituted?

So Schmincke super-granulating (Tundra) like Daniel Smith fines. Awesome mixtures.

awww, No color descriptions while swatching … :-(

I am fast falling in love with granulation watercolor. ❤❤❤ Amazing share and moving onto part 2! ❤❤❤

Shell pink for me 👍
