I remember mixing Ultramarine and (if memory serves) Opera Pink to make a purple for a painting of violets. I'd look at my white, ceramic palette and think, "What the heck is wrong with these paints? They're separating! Is there some problem mixing this blue and pink that I'm ending up with these bits and flecks?" Ah...life as a beginner watercolorist. ;-) Thanks for all the info, as always, Michele.

Hi Michele, I love granulating colors. I would just like to add that you can manipulate how much granulation you get by using more or less water and by keeping the paint evenly distributed (or not). I've had some beautiful granulation effects on hot pressed paper, but you really need to use a lot of water then, or the pigment particles won't get a chance to flow on the paper and spread out from one another. Things like tilting the board and painting on an incline really help to get paints separated and pigment granules dispersed as well.

I LOVE granulating paints. I have the Winsor & Newron granulation medium. You get a subtle granulation with staining colors. I've seen a lot of negative reviews for it but if you use it properly, it will work just fine. The directions on the bottle say for maximum effect, dilute color generously with medium alone. 😊

Your tips and advice are much more useful for me. I will NOT be buying this brand again, unless someone like yourself recommends it. I look forward to seeing if Jackson's can improve their granulation medium. Thank you very much, Michele, for your invaluable advice on most things to do with Painting and Drawing. You ARE a Star.

I'm still learning to like granulation. It is a "new" texture for me to get used to. Acrylic and oils have really made moving to watercolor a world of exploration. I am totally in love with Payne's Gray. I actually bought a good brand tube, before upgrading my other colors. If I had to use one color only on a project, it would be Payne's Gray with tints and tones.

I was waiting for this video as I am studying granulating watercolours. I've bought Winsor and newton's granulating medium but I'm not satisfied with the results on staining watercolours but it works great with acrylic inks, they granulate wonderfully. With watercolours I generally use mars black combined with both granulating and non granulating watercolours sometime I use more than two pigments with a balanced quantity of mars black or lunar black (it's Pb11 anyhow) it's so much fun to see how those pigments hate each other and separate, potters pink is another of my favorites, lovely. Granulation, transparency, back runs isn't it magical? I'm so in love with watercolours 💕 it's pure joy!

I'm partial to cobalt blue, another granulating color for skies. It's just a little lighter and less warm than ultramarine, and it's an appropriate sky color for coastal California where I live. I've also mixed ultramarine with phthalo blue for skies as well. Buckling with unstretched or unblocked paper is only a problem if you are coloring in large, very wet washes of granulating color. Unfortunately I haven't used a granulating medium that works well, and I find that combining a staining with a granulating medium, the result will be granulating texture with staining background. This can be lovely, but don't expect a staining color to suddenly become granulating.

*i prefer the look and nature of granulating colors and pigments in my attempts at messing about with watercolor...i'm still learning what techniques work best with the palette that i'm assembling which leans heavily towards the fairly subdued or muted earth tones which only enhances the brighter shades when i use them...also employ a lot of fountain pen ink washes that have shimmering, sheening or metallic elements...style leans more towards the abstract free form organic end of the spectrum at this stage due in part that my physical skill set (muscle memory and brush dexterity implementation) is not as advanced as the ideas ideas inside of my head which is very frustrating but i still find the act of painting a very meditative activity* *

You are very welcome. It's a matter of understanding pigments, rather than brands or colors. Until you gain that knowledge the easiest way is to google it, something like staining watercolors or non granulating, adding the color you want, like blue or yellow. For example all ultramarines granulate, and all indian yellows are transparent (staining). It's the pigment type that decides.

Like all of your other videos I’ve watched, this was spectacular! In an amazingly short period of time your channel has become one of my most favorite and you’ve become one of my best sources of both basic (but essential) information and easy to follow tutorials. You are a truly gifted teacher and a very talented artist! As someone who has always enjoyed learning just for the sake of learning, I can appreciate the fact that a person’s knowledge or expertise of a subject is NOT in direct correlation to the person’s proficiency in teaching the subject. I’ve had teachers new to the profession who quickly learned that just because you have expert knowledge or ability of a subject doesn’t mean you have the ability to explain it to someone else so that they understand it or understand how to do it. The ability to teach is a talent (one that is greatly under-appreciated in American society, unfortunately). The ability to inspire students to want to learn is a gift. I envy your real life students. P.S. 🍎 An apple for the teacher. In case it wasn’t clear, I’m a fan -atic- (Just kidding! I’m only a fan. Honest.) 😂.

Hi Marilyn. I know some of the range are on Amazon, not sure if my sets are there, you can also buy direct from the manufacturer, or ask to them for information. Jackman's Art Materials UK 🙂

*19:40** at one time years ago (if not decades) i experimented with india ink and added something to it that caused it to separate in the most beautiful way...not sure if it was salt or alcohol or maybe some combination of both or the reaction to the card stock on which the pigment had been applied but i have not been able to reproduce the effect since...any suggestions?*

It should have been salt, anyway inks that are not water based granulate well even with granulation medium. Are you in Michele's facebook group? It would be great to see your work

It's my experience that many of the older inks granulated all by themselves.

Thank you for the info Michele, I hear about the granulation for the first time, I am a real amateur then 😅 others talking about buying granulating colours, is it written on the paints, or ist stg that artists know which are the granulating colours, do you have a video about that? Thx 🌸

Not always written on the paints, depends on the brand, but the website will give info. It's more about the type of pigment, for example ultramarine always granulates, phthalo never does. Click the video description box, I have written a list of the most common ones for you :-)

Thank you. Made notes. Excellent video. I've got Winsor & Newton Granulating Medium. It wasn't a brilliant wow, but I haven't really messed about with it. Use it neat, no added water. Would salt water have the same effect? Lastly, I love the bird painting.

Not sure about salt water, salt (although I use it) can damage paper so probably best avoided in big quantities.

How do you know it’s a granulating colour if your choosing colours ?

There's a list in the video description of the most common ones, it's about the pigments, not the brand or the cost so you just get to know.

I've not tried granulating mediums, I haven't seen a need for them as yet.

I've tried W&N and Schmincke granulation mediums, and, well... 👎 Schmincke works a bit better than W&N for me, but no where close to what I get out of a tube of a granulating colour. I wind up buying granulating colours and mixing them with other colours - staining or granulating - to get what I want. Also, with Schmincke's super granulating colour, I find no need to buy the medium. That said, I've had some success with the Schmincke medium, but instead of following the instructions, I put it directly in my paint puddle before putting it on the paper. I've also tried adding salt to the water and using the salted water to dilute my paint and make puddles which I then apply to the paper. This works best for me, rather than the true granulation mediums.

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I forgot to say that I dissolve the salt in distilled water, just in case tap water would cancel out the salt because of whatever chemicals are used to kill some bacteria in tap water. Also, one thing I haven't tried yet is using sparkling mineral water with high sodium bicarbonate content or baking soda to see what results I would get. 🤔

Thank you for today! I have tried Winsor and Newton and much as I appreciate their watercolours I found that particular medium to be only mediocre at best.
