You water the acrylics down to get similar effects.

[@KelliGreen777]

This is a technique treasure trove! Thank you so much! I'm looking for the granulation medium technique link you referenced. Is that only available to patrons?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Kelli, yes the granulation technique is included in the Patreon extended version.

[@lindawetsch2674]

Great technique and use of wax and wc pencil!!.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@patvalenzuela5105]

Beautiful!

[@jainagel3097]

I’m curious about the granulation medium. I don’t see the info on it. Any tips on using it? Do you prefer it to granulation pigments?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I like granulating paints from the tube. I also like using granulation medium. I use a pipette to apply it to the paint and it granulates beautifully.

[@cathyt.4232]

Great video! Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials! ❤❤❤

[@KarenRiceArt]
