A practical way to use paints with natural mica shimmer like Kyanite is add a layer over water (ocean, lakes, rivers) to show movement and sun reflections, or in water or landscape shadows where you want to add a little light. Loved your paintings!
My favorites are Derwent graphite yellow, blue, indigo, and purple and any of Masha's watercolors, especially Cobalt Green 😊 Arteza has some nice granulating watercolors too. They are what made me realize i love it 😀
Your skilled versatility of subject matter is impressive. Thank you for this video on granulating paints (which I love) and sharing examples of how you used them.
This is a fantastic video. I love you have simplified the selection process and showed how and why we can use granulation to create more interesting textures in our paintings. Your paintings that you used to demonstrate the use of each paint are wonderful. I especially like your use of sodalite genuine in the lake water painting. Subscribed in flash! PS. The Super Vision paint was very interesting. The particular one you showed, the turquoise/pinkish brown paint, is a stunning granulated paint. I've never heard of this brand before. Please let us know more about these paints.
Tundra Orange is a mixture of PR233-Potter's Pink, PBr7-Raw Sienna, and PY43-Yellow Ochre. You can try mixing these yourself instead of buying Schmincke's. I'm working on mixing a ton of granulating mixes. Hope this helps! Thanks for sharing. 🎨
Thanks for leaving a comment:) yes, I know the pigments they use for their supergranulating colours but sometimes it’s just too much effort to mix them yourself haha and the more pigments are included, the more difficult it’ll be to achieve right proportions. But it’s definitely nice to know that there’s an option to mix them yourself and if I can’t find this colour in the future, I’ll definitely do it!! And good luck with mixing your colours⭐️
Thank you very much, your talk was quite topical and very interesting, and the paintings you showed proved you have a great talent and are not just a professional "swatcher". You are right, the choice in paints has increased exponentially, it's crazy. I'm in the sketchers category, and I use Bloodstone Genuine to "create interesting textures in seconds" as you said. I like it a lot. I was also impressed by the Sodalite blue in your video (YT auto-subtitles wrote "cellulite genuine" 🤣). Despite all the products today, I can't find a non-granulating, low-saturation, large-value-range dark paint that, in high dilution, would match the undertone of Bloodstone Genuine. I too want to declutter: I'm opting for monochrome line and wash, but with two paints, one basic, one grainy, same hue. Payne's grays are mostly bluish, diluted sepias are yellowish, neutral tints are neutral, the iron oxides are grainy, PV29 is too saturated in dilution... The only hue I found online that matches that exquisite Bloodstone undertone is "Van Dyke Violet" from the Sennelier Soft Pastels. I Just happen to have one, bought 15 years ago on a whim because I liked the color -I'm no pastel artist. Now looking at the Van Dyke brown watercolors.
Thank you for testing these! I also started using gratulating watercolors more and more. I use regularly the oxyde black from Rembrandt and also Sodalite Genuine and Shadow Violet from DS.
this was wonderful to watch .. i have a few of the primary colors and love them for portrait studies( i use piemontite a lot , for value study's.. i love it!!) i also use green apatite, quite a bit , for landscapes.. i did buy some bk11, and add it to a few colors to get some beautiful muted colors .. thanks so much .. norakag, here 👍
I have bought paint sticks of some of my favorite Daniel Smith colors, which cost $5 less than the tubes, depending on the color. I'm a big fan of Moonglow for shadows.
This was so informative, thank you for sharing, I especially enjoyed your paintings you used to showcase the colours. I’d like to give you some feedback though, you are overworking the paint, by constantly going back in with the brush you’re messing up the granulation pattern. Put the paint on and leave it, just let it do its thing.
thank you!! I haven't been able to upload to TH-cam recently for a few reasons but I'll be back and can definitely do a tutorial:) which topic are you interested in?
Just a heads up, a lot of people have experienced the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise going grey. Whether that’s a lightfastness issue or it reacting to something else I don’t know, but I do know from what others have shared that the Schmincke Horadam Cobalt Green Turquoise is almost identical in hue and behaviour. I have that one and love it! 😊
@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt Hope it helped! You can always do a lightfastness test (including light washes) for a year, and use it in your sketch book until you have the results from it. If it's important to you that it's lightfast, of course! ☺️
to old wall look very natural the granulation like old walls aging in the nature with low maintanance . I think fun that this brand of brush do this plastic handle remember the kids brush, but isn't , here this brand only sell in very few stores and is very expensive but I neve saw this line, in my city in store we just find round brush but not point and the mix media canson paper I don't like this paper , never uderstand the line texture side hate it. I would love go in a store that have art material with varierity !! How you do this so strait lines like the metal grid in the gothic window???
yes! granulation is perfect for imitating texture in old buildings! Honestly, I am not very good at drawing straight lines but if you like mine then I just achieved it with practice hahaha
I HATE granulating colors! Im so tired of companys using the same 3 pigments and adding other pigments and calling it super duper granulating color/set
hahaha I understand you in a way! You are definitely right about the fact that most companies mix their colours from the same pigments. However, that's what the market wants at the moment and I feel like if they don't do that, they are going to lose their competitive advantage... most people would just pick a couple of colours from these 'super' granulating series and use them for their convenience - so they don't have to mix the mixes all the time

The shadow and light that you captured in that first architectural drawing you showed….I mean unbelievable. I can’t believe how beautiful that looks 😍
thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comment!

Thank you for watching!:) What do you use shadow violet for? I have it but cannot seem to find any place for it yet... :(
this was wonderful
to watch .. i have a few of the primary colors and love them for portrait studies( i use piemontite a lot , for value study's.. i love it!!) i also use green apatite, quite a bit , for landscapes.. i did buy some bk11, and add it to a few colors to get some beautiful muted colors ..
thanks so much .. norakag, here 👍
thank you for your comment! Yes, you are right - it's easier to just buy pbk11 and add it to all colours yourself! :)
I really enjoy using the granulating colors.
me too!! sometimes just swatching them is a joy!
❤granulating pigments. Lunar earth is my favorite.
I have bought paint sticks of some of my favorite Daniel Smith colors, which cost $5 less than the tubes, depending on the color. I'm a big fan of Moonglow for shadows.
Just wanted to say I love your style and they are very inspiring. Wondering if you made a video to share the colours you use in your main palette?
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words! I haven’t made such a video yet but maybe I will!

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt thanks for replaying ❤. Whatever subject you want! I won’t be picky 😁

oh no!! I really liked the sleeping beauty one:( but thank you for the information, maybe I'll stick to using it in a sketchbook

I wonder how it would be to paint with a limited palette of just Tundra Orange, Sleeping Beauty and Piemontite... might be an interesting experiment
Yes, you’re right! It’s an interesting idea - I’ll definitely try it😁
Painting starts at 6 minutes
