🎨 New Video: Granulating Watercolor Magic
I’ve always been fascinated by how granulating colors behave — the way pigments separate, texture emerges, and unexpected little surprises happen on the paper. In this new watercolor timelapse, I dive into just that — layering washes, letting granulation do its thing, and watching a painting unfold in its own rhythm.
In the video, you’ll see how certain pigments settle into the paper’s texture, pulling darker specks and soft patterns that feel almost like tiny landscapes within the wash — that beautiful, unpredictable magic that granulating watercolors are known for.YouTube
I’m not perfect with them — and that’s part of the fun. You’ll catch moments where I step back, let the colors move, and decide when to nudge things just a little bit. If you’ve ever wondered why some watercolors sparkle with texture while others glide smooth, this timelapse is a great way to observe the difference.
What you’ll learn from watching:
How granulating pigments behave differently than non-granulating ones.
How layering and water control influence texture.
Why sometimes letting go is the best technique of all.
Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, take a few minutes to enjoy the flow of the paint and maybe spot a few texture tricks you want to try next time you sit down with your palette.
