Granulation definition and types, and why should we use the granulation process? 

Granulation definition and types, and why should we use the granulation process? 
Leaning into earth tones with this 8x10 composition. I envision pieces like these matted and framed so I've learned to paint them in standard sizes!

This is a atmospheric watercolor landscape in 8 x 10 portrait orientation. I used Daniel Smith hematite genuine (a warm black) and burnt umber. These earth tones create a pleasant atmosphere with the granulation from hematite genuine and the warmth of burnt umber. That warmth comes through on the left side of the composition. The rugged foreground leans into dark values with peaks of medium values and a few flecks of the white watercolor paper visible. The center of the the foreground is a triangular swatch of the white watercolor paper giving some depth to the composition. The granulating effects of hematite genuine are seen hanging in the light values of the atmosphere in vertical swatches. Long grasses add movement above the horizon line and shorter grasses provide texture in the foreground.

For this Atmospheric landscape watercolor painting I used Daniel Smith Moonglow and Schmincke Tundra Violet. While both watercolor paints granulate, Tundra Violet steals the show with its gritty ultramarine blue and brown pigments splitting!

This is an atmospheric watercolor landscape. I used two granulating watercolor paints: Moonglow by Daniel Smith and Tundra Violet by Schmincke. The foreground consists of textured curved hills that meet in an open center that is untouched with pigment. Usually I make the foreground mostly dark value with peaks of medium, light and no value. For this one both bottom corners are medium/light values to show off the granulating properties of the watercolors used. Tundra Violet splits into its blue Ultramarine and brownish tan pigments. With the texture of the coldpress watercolor paper, the granulation is very noticable and gritty. This can be seen in the bottom corners and in vertical swatches into to atmosphere/sky of the painting. Moonglow also contains ultramarine blue but in this particular painting, the granulation appears more like a muted cool purple. Grasses add texture and movement to both the foreground and sky

After lots of editing issues, the color study of Caput Mortuum and Cobalt blue is online and live.

Enjoy my lovely granulating loving friends!

Caput Mortuum is such a lovely deep violet brown pigment with heavy granulation, that I had to pair it with the also granulating Cobalt blue for most joy.

Open sketchbook with some color studies, a wash from blue to brown, mixes and two sketches. One of a bird and one of a wonderfully cloudy landscape with a lonely house just waiting for guests to come over. Probably cake and tea are ready already...

Eileen the crow the third.

The freaking third time I tried this and the third time it failed. I worked with liquid masking and while trying to remove it I scraped away the watercolour. I lost so much details and have no photo of the before version. ONE DAY I WILL GET IT!

I finished this years Christmas card design last weekend. I love how simple it came out.

I bought granulating pigments to make my own granulating watercolour. Also I splurged and bought more naturals Schmincke watercolours. I only used these paints.
This was a loose short painting.

Played a bit with the new palette last week, discovering its possibilities. Right now I'm a lot in the mood to paint little, tiny really, landscapes. Each of these is about play card sized in real live. Still I feel like I managed to achieve some depth and glow.
While exploring, I also tried different techniques while doing so. Really neat!
Do you have a favourite?

Next Pokemon drawing for my kids room. Done with Daniel Smith watercolors and Schmincke supergranulating watercolors for the background.

Watercolor drawing of a jumping and grinning Squirtle. The background is made from various supergranulating watercolors in blue and turquoise colors, giving an interesting structure.

Video about the full range of granulating watercolors from White nights. At the moment the set, as well as the single pans and tubes are on sale at Gerstäcker, that's why I thought, I'm doing a video about the full range.

My son asked if I could draw him a charmander for his room. Of course I did it. It is my very first time drawing a Charmander. I think it turned out quite well.

Watercolor drawing from a charmander. It jumps happily and has its eyes closed. Sky and grass are drawn loosely.
