- During my recent Japan trip I purchased some Kusakabe Harmonia granulating watercolors, so join in my discovering these colors as I swatch them out for the very first time! Spoiler alert: they are a hit and miss in some areas...
I would also like to say thanks you to everyone who has subscribed to my channel! It really means a lot to me.
As you know, I simply want to record and share my process and progress, my learning curve, misses and small successes.
If that's something you're interested in, maybe because you're thinking of picking up this hobby as well, then join me on my adventures in watercolorland!

I bought some individual tubes and cranberry punch is my favorite so far! I already ordered another tube 😊
I’m sticking with Blue Hole :-) Such an intense teal color… 🙌
I use the olive as sap as well
yes, they look very similar, right?
Sorry for the play by play I’ve got going now. Lol. I came from the Holbein video to watch this.
I’ve been playing with pinks and greens and hadn’t noticed the Caribbean problem. I’m going to find a fix for this too. 😁. This palette is just too fun and well priced I want people to enjoy it as I am
Haha - no need to apologize! I appreciate the fact that you're taking all the time and effort to find solutions to my 'problems' :-) Much appreciated!!
gold citrine looks really beautiful. since i cant really get those watercolors where i live, i will try to get a py216 and try to mix it with the py3 i already have :)
Yes it does :-) Good luck! Let me know how it goes :-)
I love the purple!! I love smalty blues. Bluey purples. This one is just different tastes I think?
Well, in hindsight, the Purple Spinel did end up in a gorgeous granulation, I was too soon with my verdict :-)
These colors are better tested on a little bit larger areas, as they need mire space to do their magic. Also quite a bit more water will make them really shine.
As far as the name "Witch Bordeaux" goes, the color looks a lot like blood, both wet and dry, so it probably reminded the makers of witchcraft and the fact that witches were said to often have used blood in their potions...just a guess.😉
I was able to hunt down this set of 24 Harmonia paints on the Japanese Amazon site, if anybidy is interestwd. Here in Europe it is not sold anywhere at all.
BUT on the Japanese Amazon site you will have to create an account, as they do not recognize existing foreign accounts. But then I was able to order them, as well as 2 sets with 3 tubes each of the Chinese Super Vision paints. They are all way too expensive ob Ali Express.
Amazon Japan mails via DHL Express, which only took a few days to arrive in Europe.
what an awesome stamp set used to swatch. where did you find this please! thank you!
Hi - thanks for the lovely comment :-) I actually found it very cheap on this site here: share.temu.com/pigG9zjM46A
Add more water to the conch it’s gorgeous. Add po73 and pw 6 to cranberry
true! the conch could have used a bit more water, i was still getting used to the thick consistency of this brand :-)
Th first line, all 6 are very nice. But I can’t see the granulation .
After having seen these, the Holbein and the Chinese Super Vision paints I am thinking that the term "granulation" is mostly used for the multi-color effect in these, and not so much for the grainy, texture-like look that we refer to as granulation.
I agree witch does not belong here! I hadn’t noticed that. Disappointing name.
