Winsor & Newton Watercolor Medium, Granulation Medium, 75ml Bottle

Awesome! I just discovered this product

I wish I had known about this product sooner! I love how it granulates wherever you place it. I recommend and I'll buy again. Very easy to use.

This really has a 'wow' factor to it! It's excellent to watch the granulation, as well! After I'm out, I'll definitely purchase again!

WN is the best of the granulation mediums available but you have to know how to use and if you do it yields terrific results

Wow - just wow. I use granulating pigments quite a lot in my watercolor work. This medium takes those to an entirely different level, and also makes every other pigment form delightful clustery bits. What I found most impressive is that this medium still promotes pigment granulation on hot press paper. It's now a must have item in my watercolor supplies.

I read a lot of reviews & watched a lot of videos about this product & despite the overall consensus that it doesn’t work very well, I tried it out anyway. I’ve got some notes. Just FYI, I tried this with Talens Art Creation watercolors (not the highest quality, I know) so the results might have been different if I used nicer paints. • When I used as directed & mixed this in with my watercolors, that’s when I got the least amount of visible granulation. • The method I use (pictured) is to place the paint down onto the paper & wait until it gets damp, then I take a pipette & place a drop or two wherever I want there to be texture. If the paint is still super watery, this method will not work because it dilutes the solution so much so that the granulation is barely noticeable. • My method most often achieves a cauliflower/bloom effect, which I’m a fan of, though I understand that not everybody is a fan of that kind of texture. • I also tried this with Himi jelly gouache paints & ink from Posca acrylic markers. After watering these mediums down a little & mixing it in directly with them, they do look a bit sandy/grainy. • This probably goes without saying but if you already have paints that granulate, this solution elevates them to a whole other level & I love that. Overall, I’m giving this 3.5 to 4-ish stars because I really like the effect that my paints get when I drop the granulation medium on top of damp paint. It probably would have gotten 1 star if I kept using it as directed because I felt as though the granulation was hardly noticeable that way. I have watercolors that naturally granulate on their own & was hoping that this product would yield a similar appearance to those if used on regular watercolors. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, but I’m not mad at it. It’s okay, though I probably won’t be purchasing again. It’s a little expensive for what it does. Fun to experiment with though.

Easy to play around and experiment with

This stuff is pretty hard to use as a learner first time user after a while you’ll get used to it and what it can do .just have patience and practice

Not all paints are alike. I love granulating paints this allows me to add that to my watercolours.

What sets this granulation medium apart is its versatility. It beautifully enhances the granulation effect on certain watercolors, adding depth and character to my artwork. It's important to note that the degree of granulation varies between colors, and experimentation is key. I've found that the effect is more noticeable on granulating watercolors, and the magic happens when you play around with water ratios and mix it with different pigments. The Winsor & Newton brand is synonymous with quality, and this granulation medium lives up to that reputation. Not only does it deliver outstanding results, but it also comes at the best price for a product of its kind.
