HOLBEIN Artist Granulating Watercolor 5ml Bird Set x 6
HOLBEIN WG597The HOLBEIN Artist Granulating Watercolor in 15ml is formulated to granulate. This means the pigment particles separate and settle unevenly on textured paper, creating a speckled, textured effect in washes. It's important to understand this isn't a single color, but a characteristic of several colors within the Holbein range.
Specification
- Granulating Pigments: These watercolors use specific pigments that naturally have larger particle sizes and a tendency to separate in water. This is what creates the granulation effect.
- High-Quality Pigments: Holbein is known for using finely ground, high-quality pigments, even in their granulating colors. This ensures good lightfastness (resistance to fading) and color vibrancy.
- 15ml Tubes: The paint comes in standard 15ml tubes, which is a common size for professional-grade watercolors.
- Variety of Colors: Holbein offers a range of 24 granulating colors
Feature
- Creates Texture and Depth: Granulation adds visual interest and a sense of depth to washes, especially useful for depicting textures like foliage, rocks, or sand.
- Unique Aesthetic: It provides a distinct look that can't be achieved with non-granulating watercolors.
- Adds Interest to Washes: Even a simple wash can become more dynamic and visually appealing with granulation.
