Very nice granular effect. Texture. I’m finding myself looking at this video a second time. You’ve encouraged me to finish a colored pencil and watercolor picture of a volcano dragon from Iceland. I believe your paint mixing with a granular color will give his skin a more crepe-look No baby pictures for me

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 года назад

Volcano dragon sounds amazing!

@ellietodd393 2 года назад

Just to have a laugh, burnt sienna and red oxide are perfect rock colours here in Australia.

@LadyJP6969 2 месяца назад

Fantastic hacks, Thanks for sharing!!! Or can’t I just add some granulating medium to my non-granulating paints?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 месяца назад

In theory yes, but I've never found one that works well. Do share if you know of one 🙂

@brightonrosie 2 года назад

Wow Michele. Brilliant short tips video. So would cling film work better with granulating colours ?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 года назад

Yes indeed.

@janetwalsh7025 2 года назад

Can you use “granulating medium” for rocks? Thanks 💜

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 года назад

Yes you can! However the one I tried wasn't very effective, I have yet to find a brand that's as good as granulating colours.

@liamwatson5125 2 года назад

I’ve tried painting rocks myself and they don’t even look like rocks because they have no texture and they’re a single colour. This does help.

@samtomasello6913 6 месяцев назад

Michele, what is "paper tissue?" In the video, it looks like what we call paper towels (that come on a roll) usually used in the kitchen. Or is it what we hear in the U.S. call Kleenex, to blow our noses especially when we have colds? Or there is what we here call "tissue paper" usually used to wrap presents inside a nice box before we close the box and wrap it in fancy wrapping paper to give for a gift. Which one of these are you using? I'm guessing it's paper towels because it has little equidistant pucker marks on it. Thank you for this video. I'm gathering up some granulating colors to try painting rocks now.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 6 месяцев назад

Yes paper towels. In the UK we call it Kitchen Paper, but that confuses people in other countries!

@samtomasello6913 6 месяцев назад

Hi Michele, You are really fantastic! I watched several of your videos last night, and they were so helpful! I also see that my paper towels have a dot pattern that shows up in painting, so I need to get another brand, and also you showed how to crunch it up very well to get the best results. I'd like to ask you about the stretching process. If I use a watercolor block, perhaps I don't need to do the stretching? I know you say it's best, and I'm sure you're right, and decades ago when I took at class, I stretched or stapled. I can't quite remember. But my space is more limited now, and if I can simply use my watercolor blocks, it would be ideal. I've been taping my paper to the back of a rubber cutting mat, and that is not working. Lots of buckling! Thanks for your wonderful teaching! SAM

@samtomasello6913 6 месяцев назад

Oh, I see you, I'm watching the video again and you said paper towel.

@marvelousmaker 2 года назад

I got excited, your painting rocks, I haven't done that in years! Click on video oh you're painting rocks on paper..."sighs" (still a good video) Looking closer at the title, watercolor does not work well if at all on rocks.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 года назад

Ah, yes, acrylics are better for painting actual rocks. I may make one of those in the future!
