I have actually used the supergranulating paints on coloring book paper (I used to do full on watercolor so I had them in my collection). They do best applied wet on wet paper, that is how you get them to "break" into the various colors. If you lay them down concentrated onto dry paper they just look like a solid color. It also helps to add some plain water to force backruns (also known as blossoms or cauliflowers) where the water pushes the heavier pigment around while it's wet. Just a tip to help. This is obviously hard on plain unsized paper, but I've put them down on super thin crayola coloring book paper and while it buckled like crazy it did work, so its possible. Another tip.. supergranulating paints are simply convenience mixtures of standard granulating pigments, marked up to twice the price. You can buy a collection of single pigment paints and mix them to your hearts content, and save a LOT of money doing so while also creating a ton more colors, many of which are actually more beautiful IMO. For example you don't see any lighter colors in their collection, but mixing say cerulean blue, titanium buff, or potters pink makes gorgeous pastel tones that still granulate...amazing for things like sand or birds eggs. Of course the granulating paints can be used alone as well so you get double your value. You can also add granulating paints to standard watercolors and get separation as well... that is how brands like Daniel Smith and Van Gogh make many of their "mars" or "dusk" colors, or colors like "moonglow" or "rose of ultramarine". Let me know if you want a suggestions for pigments or brands. You can mix pan paints together on a palette for use, or you can go with a tube paint and actually mix them into an empty pan and let them dry to have them ready to go if you find that more convenient.

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you so much for the info, I appreciate the effort and time you have taken to inform me! I get a bit stressed with wet on wet technique in colouring book paper as the paper buckles like crazy and I feel out of control and dread the pilling. I have seen granulating medium, so do you just add that to your standard watercolour paints, then add water and just mix them? Does that make them into granulating paints?

[@waymire01]

@@ColouringwithK Yep, wet watercolor is very low on actual control. It won't pill though unless you are rough with your brush, just lay it down gently and get out. You can drop water or more pigment with a gentle touch. Don't try to do anything else to it until it's 100% dry and the paper is hard again. Using a proper watercolor brush helps too, they are very soft. It's going to buckle, no getting away from that with unsized paper. Just try to control the pigment the best you can, a damp wiped brush will lsuck up puddles if needed. Let it dry then close the book and weight it down for a couple of days, this will flatten it out for the most part. Granulating medium is a whole other thing.. it's supposed to increase the granulation or force it in pigments that don't do it naturally. It's hit or miss in my experience. You can add it to your clean water for your brush, or add a drop to a puddle of diluted paint. Granulating paints are a feature of that particular pigment, a natural characteristic. Watercolor is all about pigments.. real watercolor paint (vs cheap paint made with dyes) is nothing but pigment and binder so every pigment has it's own characteristics and reacts to other pigments in it's own unique way. This can include staining, transparency/opacity, granulation (when the pigment gathers into clumps as it dries forming texture), toxicity, etc. You should be able to google for a list of common granulating pigments. Also this characteristic is typically labelled on color charts for the brand or store. You can also check the labeling for your schminke supergranulating paints, they list the pigments. They have common names but it's the codes you want to look for, that is their "true" name, and will tell you what you are getting regardless of what a brand names it's color. For example PBK11 is mars or lunar black, a highly granulating black. PBR11 is a similar pigment in brown. PB29 is french ultramarine, a granulating deep blue. Buff titanium is PW6:1, it's an unbleached titanium dioxide (like a creamy tan) which granulates. These are just a few examples. When you use one granulating color, you get a mix of it's color and the white of the page. When you mix two you get clumps of each, and a base tone that is the two hues combined. If you mix a granulating color with a non granulating color you get the base tone of the two mixed, and clumps of the granulating color. You can see just how many combinations are possible. It's tons of fun to just play with watercolor paints to see what happens.

You have lovely haul items and gifts K! That is so thoughtful of your student to give you those gifts, how very kind of him. I can't wait to see what you will do with your new art supplies and books! 😊

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you so much!

[@debrapeterson3686]

What a lovely gift from your student! You must have made a big impression on him! Teachers so seldom get recognized for their work, this is a great reminder that you do make a difference in your students lives. Thank you for sharing, and never worry that you talk too much. We enjoy your comments or we wouldn't be here at your channel. Take care!

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you so much!

[@connschw]

Love the science stickers!! :)

[@ColouringwithK]

Glad you like them!

[@nattyw495]

Found these art supplies interesting and informative...good video..love the science stickers..im deftly a science geek..

[@ColouringwithK]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tommiesmith8925]

You showed a very nice haul, and especially from your student showing his appreciation of your efforts to pass along knowledge that they will be able to use. If it is at all possible would you be able to give the link for the two items your student gave to you and would you also do a color swatch and first impressions of the pencils, color a page from the coloring book to see how the pencils perform. Thank you so much for sharing. Always enjoy your videos. ❤😊.

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you so much 😊 I tried to find the pencils and books but couldn’t as they were a gift but if I get a chance I will try to do a first impressions video using them. They did say Brutfuner on the barrel so I believe they are the black barrelled Brutfuners of which you can get a set of 180

[@loriayres7410]

Students can be so sweet!

[@ColouringwithK]

Definitely 😊

[@robynbroderick6822]

Hello K Love your supplies and books. Would love you to do a page in Tiny worlds please. Yes please do a review of your Kalour pencil set. Do you perhaps have the Paul Rubens Watercolour set. Thanks for your time🌸🌸🌸

[@ColouringwithK]

Will be releasing a video on first impressions of the Kalour pencils next week. Thanks for watching! ❤️😊

[@lovetobecolouring2]

What a lovely hauI !! I love the way the black kitty cat features in every book of that particular Japanese colouring book series... The tiny worlds book looks amazing.....

[@ColouringwithK]

Fun goodies!!!

[@marelizedutoit6320]

When your Spectrum Noir pens are dry out of the box brand new, you can just write them an email, their customer service is really good. I got the metallic markers recently and had 2 that was dry, and they sent me replacements of them with no issues.

[@ColouringwithK]

Good to know, thanks

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you! I knew there would be people out there who appreciate those sort of things!

[@HappyCatastrophy]

Perfect! Love all your pretty things! I would love to do that Small Worlds picture with you guys if you decide to do it in July ❤️

[@ColouringwithK]

Not 100% sure which one you mean, do you mean the tiny worlds book, don’t think I’ll get to that one this month!

[@ColorfullyInspired]

Thank you for sharing. Love seeing all of the items you purchased. I have the Small Worlds book and have only completed one page. I would love to try and tackle the book nook page in July. 💜🎨

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you! Hope you got to that page

[@leslieladyhawke]

What a wonderful gift, K! Yeah those are the 180 black barrel Bruts. They’re similar to Kalour 180 & Socolour 180. Ao Im sure youll like them.

[@ColouringwithK]

Yes, they are nice to use

[@dollyuy3615]

Would love to see a flip thru of your Japanese coloring books especially the mushroom houses. That one is still in my shopping cart

[@ColouringwithK]

That video should be on my channel now

[@Abi.Cadaver]

Great video and lovely haul and gifts. Would you be able to do a full flip through of the bunny book from amazon japan? :)

[@ColouringwithK]

Yes sure, I will do one as soon as I can

[@Tea-wq6tb9vh4r]

Thank you for showing your haul. I have the Derwent inktense paints and have yet to use them. Look forward to seeing you use them sometime in a book. Thea

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks, yes, I need to use the Inktense paints soon

[@lindatadlock9344]

Great haul!❤

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you! 🤗

[@78shinystar]

I loved this video, I have been waiting for your next haul :). Please can you link the stencils, the A4 size is better for colouring books, saves moving a smaller on around and trying to match it up, thank you for the fab video :)

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks, these are similar ones, I think some of the ones I purchased before are not available anymore. www.amazon.co.uk/OOTSR-Painting-Stencils-Furniture-Scrapbooking/dp/B09CKX8SQ5/ref=sr_1_31?crid=6UEVBTE3IYRA&keywords=a4+stencils+for+crafts+reusable&qid=1689536364&sprefix=A4+stencils%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-31

[@lindaverkade438]

Hi K! I really like you to hear your thoughts about the stuff you buy or gifted. I am curious what you think about the Kalour pencils. I don’t have them but your opinion is important to me. Enjoy your art stuff!

[@ColouringwithK]

Thank you, you will hopefully see my first impressions video on the Kalour pencils next week

[@marinacarolussonskoldeskog6254]

hi, how nice to see your video, I wonder where you bought your templates/stencils, and what brand they are? Sincerely, Marina❣️🇸🇪

[@ColouringwithK]

I got them from Amazon UK, no real brand name. I will see if I can find the link, here are similar ones: www.amazon.co.uk/OOTSR-Painting-Stencils-Furniture-Scrapbooking/dp/B09CKX8SQ5/ref=sr_1_6?crid=28U03MW5AA43R&keywords=Stencils+craft&qid=1689869450&sprefix=stencils+craft%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-6

[@13Moondancer]

The Neenah card stock - does it take neocolors 2 and Derwent Inktense, please? How lovely and thoughtful of your student 🙏

[@waymire01]

I've used inktense on Neenah, but I use the bristol vellum which has more tooth (I actually use the back side which is smoother but still more tooth than the regular cardstock), it works fine. I use either a water brush or Tombow blender so not a ton of water. Inktense isn't watercolor but it is a water medium, generally tooth on the paper makes the paint sit more evenly, hot press (smooth paper) is wonderful for detail work but harder to get a smooth wash out of. Completely depends on the result you are looking for. The biggest issue with water media and home printing is your ink, most inkjet is dye based and water soluble. I have a printer with pigment based inkjet which is better, but laser is the most waterproof.

[@ColouringwithK]

I cannot remover if I used Inktense on it or Neo-colour. I would e-exact it would be ok as long as you don’t flood the paper, it’s not going to be as good as of you used watercolour or mixed media paper. The Neenah card stock is like an overall all round paper for mediums but I think watercolour paper is best for water colouring mediums (I find mixed media paper is good too, and it’s a bit cheaper than watercolour paper)

[@robynbroderick6822]

K What is the brand name of those detailing brushes please . Thankyou🌸🌸🌸

[@waymire01]

They were ProArte, I've purchased their brushes in the past and they are very nice with a budget price. I wish they sold them here in the US, I have to have them imported.

[@ColouringwithK]

Thanks - yes, they are the Pro-Arte but I like the fine brishes by Windsor and Newton as well, but they are a bit more expensive

[@brittanydaniels1102]

I believe Spectrum Noir is owned by the UK Crafter's Companion company. Plus Crafter's Companion/Spectrum Noir makes their own ink refills for the Soectrum Noir Classiques/Illustrator alcohol markers and none of my Spectrum Noir Illustrator alcohol markers work fine meaning the ink is juicy for me. Maybe you just have a defective set of the Spectrum Noir Illustrator refillable alcohol markers.

[@ColouringwithK]

Possibly! Tan am for watching

[@gagaforgluing8247]

Great haul. I love those stencils, lovely that they are A4 sized. Would you be willing to sell your smaller set of Paul Ruben's paints to me? How lovely of your student to get you those gifts ❤ xxx

[@Chroniccolourist]

Hi thanks i really enjoy your videos and i did the stencil and crayon one you showed it worked great, where you rub back. I got a little enthusiastic and bought more and tried paint, but I keep getting the paint going under the stencil…..I tried sponge, etc but all it did was soak up heaps of paint and made a hug mess…do you have any tips or trick - what is the best sort of paint and so on…thank you so much for your videos

[@waymire01]

For paint you need something with some body, like acrylic, and a proper stencil brush. A stencil brush is flat at the top and rather stiff so it doesn't soak up the paint. You apply the paint to a palette (I use foam plates so I can just toss it after, but you can use a ceramic plate and soak it in hot water directly after and get the paint off for reuse). You tap the brush into the paint bristle down and kind of tap away from the paint so you create a thin layer to work from. Then tap the brush over the stencil until it creates a solid layer, you can also feather it out or blend colors together. This keeps the paint from running under your stencil. Be sure to clean your stencil/brush immediately after.

[@Chroniccolourist]

@@waymire01 thank you !!!:)

[@ColouringwithK]

I don’t use paint with my stencils as I get it everywhere too, I mean I’d suggest to use a sponge but you already tried that. How about using one of those distress ink sponges attached to the wooden applicator. You could wipe off excess paint and then uses that? I personally use distress inks or gel crayons applied with the blending brushes on a palette with my stencils as it works much better and is not very messy at all

[@hazeljenkinson1741]

I think i put the wrong message for this channel , i think it was for completed pictures in July 23 .

[@bettablue2660]

NEVER EVER put the little brush protectors that they are packaged in. Re-applying them over and over will ruin them. Clean them without touching the bottom and either keep them brush up in a cup, or horizontally.

[@ColouringwithK]

Okay, thanks for the tip!
