Holbein : Granulating Watercolour Paint

A European style transparent watercolour, Holbein watercolour preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in traditional Japanese watercolour techniques. Granulating colours are the combination of at least two granulating pigments intensifies, achieving both texture and dimension. These colours are made up of pigments from different colour families, allowing not only granulation effects but also colour shifts. The natural texture formation varies depending on the surface and amount of water being used - rough paper enhances the granulation effect as heavier pigments settle into the troughs in the paper.
