Granulating Watercolour Flowers!? Wasn't Sure If This Was Going To Work Out!

[@murmeli2966]

The pots look amazing with the granulating colours.

[@atink1020]

Dry brushing the first pot made all the magical difference ❤

[@antoniahicks320]

I like them together. It's so much more interesting and a bit impressionistic. The color of the vase with the Iris looks metallic or really nicely glazed pottery.

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

I’m so glad you tried these. I’ve been having fun with them for flowers, dragonflies, jellyfish and northern lights!

[@pennywheeler2598]

The pottery is beautiful! It has the look of old world vintage!

[@maryrutland535]

I love love love the purple vase with the cosmos! Gorgeous!

[@waynehudson5903]

I'm deluding myself into thinking I could actually paint these flowers. Well, at least I'll try. You teach so well that it seems like something a beginner could do. Beautiful. Lori

[@TheSwissy4me]

I’m loving this granulating watercolor. I just ordered a small palette from deep deep light…patiently waiting for the arrival. I forget what’s in the palette now!! lol. Man I’ve gone down the rabbit hole

[@YK-zv9of]

Absolutely love the granulating colors! Your flowers are gorgeous and the pots came out beautiful. I personally love working with granulating paints, some of my favorite projects have been from using the granulating water color pigments. Thank you for this lovely tutorial. Your playful teaching is what makes you so wonderful to watch. Plus you have a soothing voice. 😊

[@FOSSILFERN10]

Wonderful tutorial on these paints! I now have the courage to try them lol.

[@sunnyart7955]

The granulation makes beautiful flowers. I really like that under sea green.

[@sarahmitchell9247]

I think your second flower achieved a certain color harmony…I really like it!

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I love granulating colours as they remind me of Autumn and Winter, which are my favourite times of the year. 😊 The colours you used for the vases looks like a glaze I've seen on cups before. 😊

[@AliPillette]

So beautiful. You are so talented. I have been watching for a few years and I know you haven’t been painting a super long time. But you would never guess that. ❤❤❤

[@Babyjohn8170]

I enjoy using that set of Kuretake watercolors.😊👍

[@PatriciaThompson-m8f]

I ordered mine today. Can hardly wait to try them.

[@LadyJP6969]

Great use of the granulating paints on the flowers. I didn’t think it was possible to use them on anything but landscapes, but you did great!!! I especially like the second set of flowers & that vase was fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@gwenmarzewski2371]

I love both paintings! I own a set of the paints, and now I know another way to use them. Thank you! ❤

[@JoeJoe-uo5hf]

I love these paints Emma! These are both so stunning paintings and I love the effect. I think the second painting at ~ 18:18 was the perfect spot - so beautiful and somehow delicate despite the granulation - think the unique properties of these of these paints were are their peak at this stage for me 😊

[@leanngoodall7602]

I got this set for Christmas! Love them. I love Arkaar Creations. I have three wee palettes from her. I love her accordion sketchbooks.

[@karenlewis632]

My favourite flower and inpurple! Great work!😊

[@dottieburns3420]

Oh my! The cosmos are beautiful!

[@SusanHilesCreates]

I love both of these paintings. I ordered these paints and I look forward to painting some flowers too! Thanks for sharing this with us. I enjoyed every minute of this video. 💕

[@Pottedlady]

Love the granulating watercolors, you did a beautiful job

[@lisagauci3354]

They look amazing

[@darcypalmer7783]

I've had these Gainsai colors for awhile and haven't figured out what to do with them. Thanks so much for this tutorial. The tips on how to use them really helped.

[@shirleyupvall9360]

Yes. Looks great dry brushing made the pot

[@Katianne-q3e]

Those are gorgeous!

[@norahtrecartin3892]

it is so pretty! The purple ne is my favorite.

[@Shannon5909]

Those are sooooo dang pretty Emma!!! Loooove them!! Cheers from Vancouver Island 💜🇨🇦💜

[@SusanBurgett-h1g]

I really like the granulation on the vases, especially. But overall I love the second floral. The colors really look good together! You do such amazing work! Even when you are just "winging it" !

[@dottiebarnes7792]

I love watching you paint

[@eileenboffo6300]

Love the monotone in the cosmos painting. These paint effects are super 👌

[@tracyvonelling1615]

You are amazing anf ive learned so much from you. Thank you for this and for showing us how to use it for flowers. Also, for being vulnerable and winging it. I've never seen anything that you paint that I dont love.

[@longwaytotipperary]

Very much enjoyed this! Lovely colors!!!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Lovely flowers!! 🌺

[@hovraunt697]

LOVE these! The cosmos look like hellebore...gorgeous!

[@KnitWitch]

Those are beautiful paints!

[@deborahcook8376]

Those are beautiful!

[@norajennings9878]

Very pretty

[@rosemariecooke9616]

These were both really pretty. I liked the cosmo vase better before you glazed over the bluish color.

[@ruthgoebel723]

My favorite would ve the cosmos.....i LOVE purple anything, and the blue with it is fabulous!

[@bearitraeb]

Really love the granulated vases. Looks like pottery

[@CookieMum]

Lovely. I have been sitting on the fence about ordering these granulating paints. I wondered if I would use enough. I'm now convinced that they will make for some fun, relaxing pieces.

[@daveschwartz7817]

Beautiful!!

[@ErinCRN]

I loved this so much I just bought the palette! So cool!

[@dottiebarnes7792]

I love these paints. The granulation is awesome

[@zaurrange9120]

Merci beaucoup, je me suis offert ces aquarelles il y a 2 semaines et je les trouve très sympa

[@hardybeverly]

You made the irises look real! I love both results Emma!

[@melindaavila498]

Lovely!!

[@shellykeyes8389]

Very cool, I’ve got to try this paint!!

[@MarieM-PinkArt]

Gorgeous ❤

[@betsyensley1386]

I am so glad you demonstrated these paints. I bought them a while back and just couldn’t get the results I was expecting. Now I think I can. Thanks!

[@helenwang6940]

Gorgeous water painting Emma! 🎉

[@msfrehel8758]

I love the granulating colours especially on the pots/ vases! But the Cosmos also are fantastic - even if I prefered the first version of them. Look great!🎨❤️

[@donnastokes496]

I absolutely love the vase look before you made them even darker and the flowers are also very pretty prefer the cosmos ones though they looked beautiful 😊

[@zaurrange9120]

Merci beaucoup

[@hardybeverly]

That’s looking great! Under sea green is my favorite!

[@cathylathrop8104]

Love this❤ I need to try these paints !

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Hi Emma lv Ann thank you ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@jenavevesnowolf13]

This was super helpful and inspiring! Thanks!

[@courtneymartin1993]

I love using granulation for my plants and flowers. You should look into Mijellos Two Tone paints with Tourmaline. They are BEAUTIFUL!! I love them and they have. A lot of colors !

[@roxannerosecrans1348]

Paintings are very pretty 😍 think I will invest in some of these painting

[@roxannerosecrans1348]

Paints lol

[@dottiebarnes7792]

Incredible

[@susanrazza9740]

Plz do more

[@bethfrye9047]

Love the way those new granulated paint works! All the colors pop out right as one is painting. W h ere can you get them at?

[@Ms1lonewolf]

I thought it was an awesome color. If you look on your Napkin or paper towel you pressed your brush on you could see the blue coming out. The Iris was awesome so were the other flowers and the vases!! The dry brush really helped. You would have to use a really light touch for those colors to come out though. I think that would be kinda hard to do?? I don't know?? Your the expert. Lolololol 😊. Emma whatever you paint it's always great looking 👌. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.

[@acexkeikai]

I made a portrait of David with those watercolor it turned out ok I think :)

[@janelswatercolors]

They look Victorian! I really like them!

[@debbieableartandfashion]

Do you know how to paint water ripples or rings like water drop waves

[@laurab.1651]

Granulated paints are so sexy and intriguing!

[@wildflower1397]

These came out gorgeous! Even the matching vases are perfect. Wish they would cone out with more colors of these paints.

[@dottieburns3420]

Pan pastels. I know this is off topic, but have you ever used pan pastels with your watercolor? I never knew about them until a tutorial yesterday. Very interested in your opinion. Thanks.

[@barbibarnum]

Do you have a source image to refer to or have you just painted those particular flowers so many times you just whip it out? I will admit I bought those same paints, took one look at them, and said YUCK! Mine must be ruined! I never bothered to swatch them 😂😂😂

[@gopipavi9653]

Flowers are mostly soft in texture. So you should choose transparent colours to glaze or layer, retaining the softness. Also, you will use soft papers like hot press (details) or cold press (loose) . Whereas, for landscapes, illustrations etc are textured. Hence you use rough or 640 gsm paper. Similarly, for skin and fur, thick paper, opaque colours and for feathers and florals, soft 300 gsm papers can be chosen. Granulating colours are often textural and therefore, they work well for textual subjects such as landscapes, animals, still life etc. You will have fun if you choose the right combination of subject- paper- paint.

[@bearitraeb]

Interesting…. 🤨 but as a beginner… TMI

[@barbibarnum]

Hmmm. That sounds like perhaps you should have your own channel. Then you can say what ever you like without hijacking someone’s channel and trying to teach the teacher. Just a thought.

[@Grace-nq4bh]

@@barbibarnumI agree!!

[@sierracarscadden6049]

We all know art is subjective. Use your own materials however you see fit. There are no rules saying you cannot use granulating colors in florals. Personally, I love granulating colors and it was nice to see it used in florals. Something different!! Thank you Emma for sharing. I have had these same paints for a while, haven’t used them much, but now feel inspired to do so.

[@CraftyAliConfessions]

I purchased these a while ago, but haven’t used them yet. Thanks @emmajanelefebvre for demonstrating! You have given me some inspiration to go and play. ❤
