If you watch my art at all, you'll know I love granulating colours - I really hope this helped you maximise your textures with your own granulating colours. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments :)
I haven’t been able to get my moonglow to granulate. Didn’t even know it was granulating. Same trouble with my DS Ultramarine. The Lunar black dances and granulates by itself, I dont need to manipulate it atall. Thank you for making this video.
Hello:) I just came across your video:), as I was searching for granulating colors:) instantly subscribing and gonna watch more ❤❤ greetings from Prague:)
Best way to use granulation medium is to apply on top of a thick wash that is drying but is not all the way dry. Apply with a dropper or pipette by dropping onto the wash or by bringing the pipette to the edge of the wash and introducing the liquid to the edges of the wash and then tilt the paper as needed for flow. In this way you get amazing effects. It makes the paint slippery and pull apart when used as described above. But it is important to get the thickness of the wash correct and also the timing of how wet the wash still is, is paramount to making it work. Have fun experimenting.
Cracks me up how society changes. Back in the day we avoided granulation like the plague because they look dirty, blotchy and unpredictable. Today painters love that. It's like they stopped being artists whom painted and became transfer systems who let the paint create the image. I'm guilty myself. 40 years ago I would rather be shot than disgrace my work with granulation. Now, I live for it. All because what society deems respectable has changed. How cool is that.

Haha fair enough

Hi Toby 👋🏼. Thank you for your video. What pigment is Lunar Brown?
Pbr11
@@TobySketchLoose Thanks!
Actually, sometimes hot pressed shows granulation better that cold pressed and rough, or so I have seen on RUclips and one of my papers.
Yes, this is true - it's a different effect, I simplified somewhat for this video
@@TobySketchLoose Thanks!
Boy, am I late! Shouldn’t have taken that nap 😴.
Haha
Toby, have you used granulating medium ( Winsor & Newton) with your non granulating paints? I've not had much success with it.
I haven't I'm afraid

So the purpose of the granules is for texture(only)?
Now that is a good question ... I think pretty much so

Haha yes indeed, the style of watercolour painting in general now is very very different to even 20 years ago I would say
