NEW! Kuretake Granulating Set - swatch and first impressions

[@WiddershinsTBG]

I would love to see a video of you reviewing the large kuretake box with pigment info. I love watching your videos, I’m a watercolor painter who finds your videos so relaxing.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Thank you! Yes, I agree it would be great to add the pigment info! I will surely do so.

I am having so much fun learning how to use this wonderful set. I have been working on using them in A.Mass tone. A little tricky as if not careful they come out brownish I like the fact that they make absolutely gorgeous backgrounds for Doodling. Thank you so much for sharing your reviews.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Thank you you for this super kind comment! I will immediately try one of them as a background…great idea!

If you want to use in mass tone why not follow the directions? It specifically states to get more colors, to use a mass tone color, mix with large amounts of water, allow colors to seperate, then use the isolated colors in mass. It might defeat the purpose of having these, but you'll get exactly what you wanted. To me they look like a dye mixed with a pigment. Like maybe orange dye mixed with real viridian. Whether that is true and accurate that's a different basket of tomatoes lol. I don't know what it is other than beautiful. Especially seeing them used to paint these gems. I saw another video of these swatched which did not do them justice. I wonder if mixing an ink with a pigment would offer the same results. Hmm, now I have something to do today. Experiments begin after my coffee lol. I hope you ladies have a blessed day and thanks for the video.

@phillipstroll7385 thank you for your comment!! Will you let me know about your experiments? Sounds fun!

This looks like great fun! (I would love to get your renewed video with the pigment information.) 🎨❤️

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

I will for sure do it!! And I also have the Art nouveau set to review…thank you very much for replying!

This set is the top of my wish list right now but I'm unable to get in Australia yet. Haven't seen on AliExpress so will have to check that out. Otherwise, I've asked my local art store to get them in asap 😆. Thanks for the review 👍🏻

Hi! Have you tried the link in the description box? That is where I bought it on Ali Express

Aurora Red è bellissimo, immagino un ritratto monocromo con quel colore! Se le piacciono i colori granulati (a parte i 24 Holbein ma al momento si vendono solo in Giappone) le consiglio i Kusakabe Harmonia che ci sono già da un anno in giro. Il Mandarin Carnelian, Cranberry Punch, Gold Citrine, Blue Hole e Sunrise Blossom sono molto interessanti 😊

Urca…..vado subito a vedere!! Grazie mille del suggerimento 😄

@@WatercolorElisabetta e si, ne vale la pena, alcuni colori sono veramente belli, purtroppo non si trovano facilmente in Europa

@diadumenos82 li ho trovati su AliExpress. Sembrano bellissimi. Sono molto cari devo metterli in wishlist…

Hi from South Africa. It’s still unavailable in SA n I’m waiting to get my hands on one. Unfortunately even via Amazon the shipping cost is almost as much as the actual cost so I’m going to have to wait for it to become available in SA just like how I’m still waiting for the art nouveau set. Thanks for a lovely video.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

Hi!! I had your same problem so I bought it on Ali Express. I don’t pay customs from China, but I’m not sure about SA! Thanks for commenting…

Hello. Can you make a series about Pyrroles? 1. Pyrrol Oranges PO71 and PO73 2. Pyrrol Scarlet PR255 3. Pyrrol Reds PR254 and PR272 4. Pyrrol Crimson PR264 Please...

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

It’s a very good idea! I must finish the Phthalo and then I’m preparing the Perylene….and then Pyrroles! Agreed!

[@mimo4000]

The separation is very impressive. Unfortunately there are only five colors in this set, and three of those are virtually indistinguishable. IMO, there are only nominal differences among Aurora Red, Aurora Pink, and Aurora Blue. In fact the Aurora Blue probably shouldn't even be called 'blue, unless they rename Aurora Pink "green"? I think this set needs more tinkering in the lab in order to provide five distinct dominant colors.

[@WatercolorElisabetta]

I assume you didn’t like the set! Actually, I like the subtle differences among them. It’s a small fun set but for sure not a must have!
