[@ImeldaFagin]

Thanks. That was incredibly fun. You deserve a porcelain palette.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

😂😂😂 thank you Imelda xx

[@barbararichards7202]

My favourite granulating colour is serpentine.

[@mattiekitty]

Thanks so much for doing this video. Chemistry and math generally hurts my brain so you made it easier for me 😁 And I absolutely love the Quin Rose/Cobalt Teal combo. I see hydrangeas with that mixture. Also so interesting to know that some brands granulate better than other in the same color.

[@mrs.z605]

This video was so much fun. I have been obsessed with color mixing and searching lately. It's amazing how inspiring that something so fun and relaxing can be, in and of itself. Hugs from across the pond!! You are amazing! ❤️✝️🌹✝️❤️

[@SketchesnScrubs]

You are so welcome Mrs Z! Thank you for unfailing kindness 💛 happy Painting! X

[@SakennaM]

I don't have a firm favourite. Yet! Based on what I have bought I definitely seem to like blue-green paints. And purples, never a bad purple. Excited to buy the black and play around with stuff I already have.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Happy painting! I agree lol never a bad purple x

[@jesswoodhere]

SO fun! I LOVE experimenting with my watercolors! It's so cool to see how pigments play with each other. I also love putting salt (fine grain and flakes) on top of my watercolors to see what exciting textures I get. 😍

[@SketchesnScrubs]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Jess! x x

[@hoosierhunny5001]

Mixing your own colors is an art in its self. My palettes of Daniel Smith are mostly custom colors ive mixed Every artist should learn to mix like this. Great video. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thanks for sharing and your kind words x

[@HeatherHogue73]

Right now, cascade green is my favorite! This was soooo fun! I loved nerding out with you. ❤

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thanks for watching Heather! I’m so glad you enjoyed it x

[@FaithAnnNB]

Loved this! I ❤ mixing videos. I looked through my paint spreadsheet and I didn’t have any pure PBk11 paints (had it in a mix, but not single pigment), so I ordered the DS version from my local art store, hoping to pick it up later this week. I blame all the beginner watercolour videos that tell beginners to NEVER use black, so I never buy tubes of black paint! Fantastic idea to grab a tube and use it for mixing! I can’t wait to do some experimenting. I also need to do more mixing with burnt umber or raw sienna to see how they mix with my other colours. Thanks for the fun video!! Favourite granulating colour might be Potters Pink, or undersea green, or Geothite. I love them all for landscapes and use them in so many ways!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Mineral Violet by RS is one of my favorites. Fun that you go to play around with these colors!

[@TheMessyDeskxyz]

I love the DS burnt sienna and DS phthalo blue mix! Yes I’m finally watching this after such a long time 😅 I feel like I need to do a #everythingwithmarsblack thing soon (And then I found out that I don’t actually have schminke mars black 😱. Ok…. That’s going on the wishlist… Now I feel the need to update my google sheet with all the pigment numbers, something that I’ve currently only done with the brands that list the pigment numbers upfront on the tube/packaging 😂. But I must have a pbk11 somewhere in my collection I’m sure…. Update: found it, DS lunar black!) I actually love the results most of your experiments! I’m such a sucker for granulating colors 😂😅

[@mrs.z605]

Cobalt teal + quin rose 🤗😍

[@lauraking1331]

What fun! I think my favorite granulating color is ultramarine blue - Turner Ultramarine Deep, Rembrandt French Ultramarine, Daniel Smith Ultramarine and Jane Davenport Blueberry are all beautiful! Also love Potter's pinks and burnt siennas!

[@lauraking1331]

@@SketchesnScrubs No apologies! Crazy time of year. Happy New Year to you and yours! ❤️

[@Lollero200q]

I remember when artist didn't love watercolor granulation 😃

[@Lollero200q]

@@SketchesnScrubs btw. if you make your own watercolors they will be granulating because you can't mull pigment particles as small as 3 roller machine

[@SimonaCZK]

Thank you for very usefull and beautiful video ❤️

[@EelKatWendyCAllen]

Lol, when I was in art school, I used to use granulating for my ocean waves and plien air landscapes and other students loved it, but the teacher hated it and said real artists avoided granulating paints.

[@moniquevugs8]

I loved this video to the end and I was totally mesmerised by the colours ❣️🙏🥰

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you for watching Monique! Xx

[@SlySkippy15]

Thank you

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

A wonderful granulating mix... I love mixing PV19+PB36.... absolutely stunning reaction from White Nights!

[@glorioskiola]

W&N professional line has a great raw umber with amazing granulation. It might make a good mix with green to mimic cascade green. Haven’t tried it yet. One I have tried is to mix cadmium red (W&N again) with DS manganese blue hue. The DS version is very granulating, unlike some other brands.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you so much for sharing! I haven’t tried those mixes yet. Especially interested to try Raw Umber! 💛

[@dedesu3]

Rose of ultramarine

[@SketchesnScrubs]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MadebyDawn23]

Thank you so much foryour video. I enjoy it, I was thinking of recreating granulating paint myself, thank you for the guide. I truly appreciate it.stay safe and bless.

Love this lady's happy smile! It makes me smile! 😀

[@SketchesnScrubs]

You are so kind! Thank you Tom and happy new year x

[@MariaWalker-qo3vi]

I noticed that too! Happy, humble and generous. Trifecta winner! 🎉🌈❤️

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you so much for your kind words Maria! I really appreciate it :D x@@MariaWalker-qo3vi

[@danielleb.7055]

The "super granulating colors " are so beautiful and so expensive but then you read the pigments and realize why the hell are they so dang expensive when the pigments used are generally common pigments and relatively inexpensive. So if I find something that I really want I first try to mix my own colors first and usually I can get close and realize ita not that cool lol but nevertheless they can be beautiful. Have a great day

[@Makachopping]

Wonderful video! So much fun! My favs are DS serpentine genuine, green apatite genuine and jadeite genuine!

[@jeanettefamulari3538]

Such an enjoyable and informative video. It's funny, but on your experimenting page, at about 28:46 min, I am intrigued by the color you dislike. It is the mix of 4 colors on the lower center. Beyond a beach scene with rocks etc, it would make a lovely background on a floral, or perhaps a bird...Love it :) .

[@M0odyBlue]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Guess what I’m doing tomorrow!! Thank you.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Have fun! Thank you so much 💛💛💛

[@klb430]

Love the video! I find that my roman szmal ultramarine has more granulation than I like when using it in skies so I was surprised to see not much in your swatch. Mine is in their half pan set so it might depend on which version of PB29 it is. I have tried my own granulating mixes and one thing I discovered is the more water used, the more granulation you see. Watercolor is so fun!

[@JohnSmith-xb4ux]

There's something amazing about seeing all the swatches from all the sets that exist, so many colors 😁😁

[@rocksandglassstore]

An inspiring video....can't wait to get my paints out & experiment too...x

[@themightierpencil]

This video definitely changed my mind about having a Black on my palette. Lemme see if Da Vinci has some Mars Black.

[@margaretmcglynn5077]

Looks like PB15 is significantly different from PB15:3 or PB15:6. Try Potter's Pink. It granulates.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you Margaret! Xx

[@laracraft82]

Thank you for sharing this video very informative and gorgeous colours 😀😍

[@nancyloomis3046]

Thanks for this helpful info! I guess you’ve reviewed Royal Talens Van Gogh watercolors? I would think they may have some good candidates for granulating. They’re very budget friendly and I consider them to be semi-professional when compared to their more expensive artist-grade sister brand Rembrandt watercolors. The dusk colors in both lines are Royal Talens granulating color mixes.

[@CreatingCuteArt]

Whyyyyyy is mineral violet LIFE?!?!

[@sunnycharacter]

Pbk11 is genius! When I started collecting pigment powders it was from the first I bought for its granulating properties. I also have mixed it with some other pigments for moody granulating versions. So fun!

[@sunnycharacter]

@@SketchesnScrubs Have a great week! By the way. Not sure if you have Aquarius Black by Roman Szmal but it’s super granulating! A great mixer!

[@LuchaCatDIY]

Wonderful 😊

[@katarinaholik]

Cobalt turquoise is my favourite.

[@kiwisnotmelons]

This is amazing! Do you happen to have a photo/ pdf of the final swatch pages? I'd love to have a quick reference for when I want to mix colors later!

[@LucysArtNSoul]

Love this, thank you ❤

[@E4Alabbasy]

Soo inspiring, I just got pbk11 to create a granulating red color similar to dusk colors as I really lived the effect. But now I'm even more inspired to mix much more colors since I realized now I have the pigments that I need

[@sunnycharacter]

I have so many granulating color favorites! But I truly do love Roman Szmal Ocean Blue and Mineral Violet!

[@sunnycharacter]

@@SketchesnScrubs yes, I have a feeling on those and a couple others I’ll have to go ahead and order backups. When you start to hit the bottom of the pan, it’s time! Lol
