Watercolor - Landscape With Granulating Paints 

Exactly - granulation without granulation medium.

yvonne geelen is granulating just really watered down colors?

sharon mcmann-morelli no granulating watercolours are different I don’t think they are ground so fine

Noted. Thanks Sherry.

Happy Holidays to you too Ann.

Thanks for letting me know about the link - will fix. I have online classes at watercolors.jeanlurssen.com if you are interested.

Mix the granulation medium with watercolor.

It's just water.

They are supposed to work better on cold pressed paper. I just prefer painting on hot pressed paper.

@@JeanLurssen I'm sorry about that messed up wording. LOL. I was probably half a sleep. Thank you for responding. I love your landscapes!! I try them alot. It's fun to recreate.

For me the granulation works better on hot pressed. Don't know if others experience something different.

Jean Lurssen I will have to try hot press with your method. I have tried it on cold press and have a few pictures that I like.

No I don't. That would restrict my painting somewhat. I only add a mat after I'm done.

I have had success with this tape - amzn.to/3y5Bdzr One has to be careful with any tape when removing from the paper. Remove slowly and away from the paper.

I guess it depends on how heavy you are with them and the quality of the brush.

Thanks Jana. I used Dr. PH Martin's bleedproof white. amzn.to/3ecx8ys

I asked myself the same question...

I would swatch the ones you have to see if they granulate or not. You can also purchase 'granulation medium' which I think you can mix with non granulating paints to help them granulate.

Here a very good reading for those who ask about granulating watercolors : danielsmith.com/blogs/jane-blundell-granulating-watercolors-what-why/

Akash Goenka - I would save up for Daniel Smith Primateks. They granulate like no other paint because they are made from real minerals. I would try to save and just get one at a time. That’s how I’ve acquired my collection. Good luck!

Love and Life Thank you :)

I didn't really need to Fiona. The trees covered the area quite well.

@@JeanLurssen Thank you for replying. Your painting looked gorgeous. I just wondered what technique you would use? I think you mentioned adding white earlier along in the video.

@@fionaross-scott5613 I would have used Dr. PH Martin's bleed proof white to fix the color overlap. Hope this helps.

@@JeanLurssen Thank you. Just watched your youtube on that product. It looks just brilliant. I love the 'waves' you did with it too.

Just realized I forgot to list that one Have added it now under the video. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Roberta. It really depends on what type of art you want to pursue. Some artists like bright colors and others prefer the more muted hues. I would suggest you checkout different artist's work and decide which appeals to you, only then will you know what basic colors to start with.With the three primary colors you can mix just about any color, so I wouldn't start by buying a lot of paints. You could try a few different primaries to see what appeals to you. Be sure to get artist quality paints if you want good results. Never skimp on quality paints or paper. Buy only 100% cotton watercolor paper for best results. My work horse colors are still Winsor & Newton raw sienna, burnt sienna, Payne's grey, Indigo, French ultramarine, sap green, Indian yellow and lemon yellow. I also love the Daniel Smith line and use a numbe of their colors too.

I list all materials with links below the vide.

@@JeanLurssen thank you Jean:)

It's granulating colors. They are colors made from minerals that separate when adding water or granulation medium and create textures when the mineral grains appear on the page.

thank you so much now i get it ❤️

No I have not. Will have to look out for that. Thaks for the tip.
