One of the biggest trends in watercolor over the past few years has been super granulating watercolors. The paints are mixes of one or 2 granulating colors plus a staining color and sometimes a mica but are they worth the investment or just a fad that will soon ruin its course?

Full disclosure, I have not purchased any of the super granulating specialty paints but I have had fun making some as well as creating my own granulating palette from paints I already have. See the full blog post here: [ Ссылка ]

In most cases, we can mix dupes of the paints sold as super granulating and get the same effect as what we already have. I think Schminke has the best premade super granulating paints available if you want a premade option, I think they might use a coarser grind of pigment to achieve the effects they get: [ Ссылка ]

I could not find the Paul Rubens set I reviewed on amazon any longer but they did have this one: [ Ссылка ] which are staining colors plus PBk11 mars black and very easy to make yourself.

Do you think this is a trend or are super-granulating colors here to stay?
