Winsor & NewtonWatercolor Medium, Granulation Medium, 75ml (2.5-oz) bottle

What can I say, it's granulating fluid and it is awesome...especially in landscape watercolor paintings.

I use this for my painting to accomplish a more textured look. It works great.

Great product

Haven’t tried it out yet but who can go wrong with a Windsor and newton product.

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.

Granulates with paint as expected. Better with heavier applications and CP paper.

Good tool for watercolors.

good product
