I love using black gesso . I use it when preparing my canvas for oil painting. Gives me darks straight away, allowing me to balance tones against the darkness.😊
I only have 2 the rose mist and the green shadows by White Nights, use lots of water until paints separate and then throw splatter with brushes watercolors Inca Gold WN and Aztec Gold WN for extra nice effect ...today painted for bookmarks to cut from A5 watercolor paper pages. Maybe also some ATC. Yesterday evening have seen video very beautiful watercolors Holbein granulating trying to find where to buy these in EU online? Thanks for all the very good videos.
Just wet a swatch shape and then load brush with colour, do the swatch over the wet area and let it dry it, should start to separate, that's what I would do.
I find, yes, paper, amount of pigment, angle of paper, and pre-mixing well with the water helps...some batches are bad...try other colours, they can be highly variable...don't judge too quickly! Maybe a medium would help too?
FYI the video is choppy at the beginning, but gets better later in the stream, I blame this on my internet! -Prof Lieu

Yes I definitely judged until I got to the Yupo paper, SO FUN once I did that! -Prof Lieu
Prof Lieu, the Daniel Smith color that you used also granulates (Jadeite Genuine)! Maybe that's why you didn't see much of a difference?
omg WHAT okay that's why I was truly confused😂 -Prof Lieu
