beautiful colors. Seems like those are mostly a combination of granulating and non granulating colors compared to the schmincke sets. But still really beautiful. I think I'll try to recreate some of these.
Super granulating watercolor videos always pull me in 😂! Love the colors. EDIT I’m not over the super granulating bandwagon. I would eventually like to buy more super granulating watercolors by Schmincke, I just don’t know when! 😊
@@PaintinHiding I was a newbie to watercolor (well I had a three decade break so practically a newbie) and that’s when Schmincke came out with the super granulating watercolors. It was serendipity and I watched every video there was about them! Masha’s Watercolors on B. E. T. S. Y. produces absolutely beautiful granulating watercolors. I haven’t bought any but I’ve watched plenty of swatching videos on YT. 😅
Thanks for showing these! I'm getting lots of ideas for color mixtures using my existing single pigment colors. I can't justify buying any more watercolors when I have so much already. 😅
🤯 🤩 Your review videos are simply unmatched in their comprehensiveness, for which I am very grateful! When you were swatching the colors, for a few I was thinking 🤔 "that looks familiar; where have I seen it before?" And then you proceeded to show me _exactly_ where I'd seen them! 😅 Either your psychic abilities are very in-tune, or you just have a natural innate sense for knowing the questions your viewers would be asking themselves. Either way, thanks so much! 🙏☺️
I love how among all these very poetic sounding colour names there's suddenly Blue Hole. All of them are pretty though. Mint Beryl is one of my favourites
Dusk Sky is the same pigment combo as Daniel Smith's Shadow Violet, too. Some of these are really pretty, but I'll probably mix them myself. Some names made me laugh. Thanks for swatching them!
Kind of a dumb comment but I like the names of some of these. I don't know how accurate the translation is but Raven Butler is so evocative! So are Shiny Blizzard and Drift Ice - the names really present a fun picture of the color.
for the record, i did not translate these. the english names were given by the brand. u can check they’re website. but i agree, the names are very good visualizers 😊
Thanks for sharing these. I love and own 3 tubes from this range and had a lot of fun painting. The Fairy Conch Pearl surprisingly works well for painting lighter skin tones. The Arctic Ocean swatches quite similarly to Daniel Smith Lunar Blue.
@@PaintinHiding I diluted it quite a bit and it was really beautiful. You can give it a try. The granulation was very subtle so it looked natural, like a flush of colour on a usually flat layer. I would show my painting if I could but please do give it a try :)
Wow, such creative, poetic, and deeply weird names 😂 Blue hole? Bordeaux Witch? Raven Butler? Sounds like a magical or haunted house! I like the same colors you do. I also liked the mix of PV233 and PV15; I suspect that's inspired by Schmincke. I don't have any supergranulating colors, I like to mix my own!
Thank you for this. I found this 24 Harmonia set on Amazon and got it; also love the Purple Spinel and Fairy Conch Pearl. Great that you can clearly see the granulating yellow in that one and Mandarin Carnelian. The granulation to me is much better in these paints than White Nights colors and much more vibrant than the mixes from WN. Nothing beats Schmincke to me for supergranulating colors, but I enjoy these and added a few Holbein primary colors to creat a palette featuring them.
yay! and yes, i completely agree with Schmincke taking the crown for supergranu colours. oooohhh adding holbein primaries to make a palette, great idea!!!
I like quite a few of them, and I find it interesting that there is quite a variety in the range, from muted to brilliant and even pastel-like. Yet, I often prepare this granulating mixes myself from the colours in my palette. This leads me to keep around 30 colours in my palette even though I use no more than 4 or 5 in one painting, but it gives me a ton of versatility to create different effects depending o the subject matter at hand. Thanks a lot for reviewing these!
Also, Viridian. Veridian is used to recreate moon glow and many other separating granulating mixtures. I couldn't find your note so I put the message on this video. Looks like you know a lot about these super granulating pigments. I bought shiminka's py150 Aunt the red in volcano which is used in many of they're super granulating line. Cheers and enjoy painting!
Thank you so much! I've been dying to get these paints but I think I'll settle with few colors rather than sets 🥰 cranberry red looks sooo gorgeous! Even though I'm not a fan of granulation itself I adore color separation and this one espacially caught my eyes!
I won't buy these, but I've got the pigments so I'm taking inspirations here ;'D I especially love the juicy pink ones, since other granulating paints from other brands focused on more muted colors.
I bought around 10 of those tubes on my trip in Tokyo and I appreciate their creativity. I do not see a lot of similarities to Schmincke supergranulating which I also have. Even in your material they are not too similar.
Fabulous video. I could easily fall in love with several of the Harmonia paints. A thought for swatching downloads. Know I would certainly buy assorted standard palette size downloads. I have an awful time trying to make the small swatch charts to put in my palettes. Right now I need a 24, 36, & 48. Just a thought. Other people might also be interested. Would certainly save a good bit of time.
thank you Beth! :) i love a few of the colours myself ;D and thank you for the suggestion for swatch downloads. i may very well do it but will take some time :D
thanks for this, great inspiration for mixing similar colours using these visuals as a starting point. kusakabe have given themselves more flexibility as their mixes are granulatng/granulating and granulating/non-granulating combos. whereas schmincke limited themselves by only doing granulating/granulating (and they don't have many granulating paints in their range!). personally i prefer to buy the single pigments and then have the option to mix the vast range of hues from there, rather than buying one pan with a fixed ratio. more please ;)
I think eve bolt said winsor is launching a granulating set of 6 colors i think. And van gogh and Rembrandt launched the weird dusk colours a while back in order to 'compete' /stand out
There's also the Shi Yun Paul Ruben paints which are interesting if you haven't checked those out yet that fall into the color separation paints category- I'd pick them up soon if you want to check them out since I don't think they're making anymore.
I love granulating colours and colour separation! I‘ve never come across PY 159 and PR 159 which both have been used in some great colours. Does anybody know these pigments? I would love to mix myself…🎨❤️
I love the vibrant colors and the greens and blues😊 (I'm not really a fan of the dark muddy browns/violets) Where can we buy individual paint tubes of these in Europe? 
yay, another swatching video, the first set of harmonia is filled with mostly popular mixes like dusk sky a dupe of ds shadow violet, sunrise blossom for ds rose of ultramarine, blue hole (excuse me, why do they name it this ??) for ds ultramarine turquoise, castle green for ds cascade green but some have really unique one like the purple spinel a kind of dupe for ds imperial purple but they switch the granulating blue for a granulating violet and use a smoother phthalo blue. the second set is more brighter and unique, it's funny how many of these contains pigment that kusakabe or even most japanese wc brand didn't use like pr233, py159, pg19, pbr11
@@PaintinHiding np, i actually like these more since it also have more brighter color than schmincke, i think i'll get some tube since my friend is going to japan this may, oh also how do they rewet ? i just want to check before buying them
@@ari_9354 they rewet fine but the ones that are lower-tinting obviously feel like they dont rewet as well but they're just lowertinting, doesn't mean they don't rewet well. like chiffon pink
I did not know Akademie had supergranulation. I thought Supervision had colour separating granulating colours for quite some time. I'm waiting for the Schmincke Urban set to become available again.
i linked the akademie vid in the description if ur interested :) and yes, supervision did have theirs quite some time. making this vid has inspired me to look more closely at schmincke’s supergran range. some of them are really nice~
@@PaintinHiding I am obsessed with granulation, having seen how it can work and add texture to a painting. The White Nights one has been a little disappointing, so far, having unwrapped and tried 2 of the 22 colours in the tin. If you can't get granulation with cobalt or ultramarine mixtures, I doubt you can get any granulation at all.
Hello 👋🏼. These aren’t 100% supergranulating, though. Only one pigment granulates in each paint. It’s a nice set, but like all granulating paints, it’s possible to mix them from existing paints.
Hello! I have the Schmincke trio volcano set: volcano red (PR108), volcano violet (PV62, PR108), and volcano brown (PR108, PBk11). The trio volcano set is very granulating therefore I think it’s the effect that makes it ‘supergranulating’ rather than the number of pigments. Well that’s my guess. 😊
@@markyteo Hello! Yes, I’ve noticed those, although I don’t consider PG19 to be granulating. The granulation is subtle and only appears as separation in mixes.
i cant remember the model number off the top of my head. please check the vid i posted about my printer here -> ua-cam.com/video/716RTQ0IetU/v-deo.htmlsi=fd1CTfa3KrRPqndk
The want monster is strong here. But the full set of Kusakabe Harmonia paint is over 160sgd. That is wayyyyyyy more than im willing to pay for paint from this brand. I'll just add it to the shopping cart and pray 🙏 very hard that they will go on sale in the future. 😅😂
