Works great for me, and have used it for years. It’s effectiveness depends on the pigments, water application, paper. You need to use it very generously with non-granulating fine pigments and/or “organic” pigments. Research “organic” vs. “Inorganic” in pigments. (These words are defined very differently in pigment science than they are defined in the food industry.) You can mix it in your your paint without water- and this is how Windsor Newton demos on their video on UA-cam. It does take some time to let it work. Overall, you used it too sparingly. It also helps to mist the wet paint swatch lightly after the mix is brushed on the paper.
It would be good if you’d shown how to use this after reading the directions first because I’ve seen it work for other that followed the instructions. Your quality of watercolours matters also
I have never tried granulation medium, but from what I always believed it is intended to make already granulating paints granulate more. I could be totally wrong about this, but that always seemed like the most logical purpose for me. Because if colors do not granulate at all, then they have very finely milled pigments, right? And to granulate you need bigger pigment particles or some other big particle in the paint, like how fillers can sometimes cause this granulation-like effect. Maybe try the medium with paints that already do granulate, and with paints that contain a lot of fillers.
I watched a clip where the artist put quite a lot of colour on wet paper then drop the granulating fluid on top. I could see the pigment separated, but the artist also said it won't work on all the colours. I noticed my comment on previous video was deleted. If my comment bothered you, then I'm sorry.
Hmmm that's what I assumed, it's sad it does not work with all watercolors :(.... Really??? On which Video was it? No no, of course not. But I do read all the comments before I make them public so it can happen that it takes couple of hours or a day until I make the comment visible because I do not get a notification when someone writes a comment.... because unfortunately I get comments with links to "not so nice pages" and unfortunately I clicked on one of those when I first started youtube 😅😅 so I delete those ones but all the others (good and bad) I make public. Is that other comment visible now or is it really deleted? Because I did not delete it hmmm
@@color-dive you will have to do more experiments, I guess. ... I see! Sorry I assumed you deleted it. I'm glad, cuz I always worry that I write too long a comment and that it might annoy people. It's the haul video you did just before. I saw my comment appear like normal, but when I came back to watch again it was gone! In the comment I was saying how you can get the 120 set Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastels from a Korean website. Maybe UA-cam doesn't like that, but there wasn't even a link in it or anything.
That is really strange, no, I did not see that comment hmmm...Did UA-cam really delete it 🤔, but if you did not post any link then it is strange hmmmm... Ah dont worry :) some people write long comments some short, it's the same with messages, so when you want to write then write ☺️... I will search for them on Internet :)
Window cleaner will granulate acrylic ink

It’s a shame that it didn’t work, thanks for sharing! saves us money and time trying it ourselves

This is useful video. At least I know it does not work :) Thank you for testing it for me :)
