Some Bakugan doodles

(My art don't repost but please reblog)

So!! I tried painting a little picture with kuretake granulating watercolour. And here's my thoughts!

Honestly I love these colours. They have SO MUCH potential. I can see so many uses and so so many effects!

My observations:

Colours change and separate out at sites of difference in dilution. So can be used with a lot of water applied intermittently,or paint applied first then dragged with water,or bits of paint on already wet surface

All the colours have 2 shades mixed in, let's say a top colour (red,pink,orange,violet) and base colour (shades of green,blue,pink) . The top colours mix with each other,the base colours with other base colours. So worth keeping in mind if letting them bleed into each other

Colours are extremely vibrant and beautiful ,as in my swatches,the pattern of granulation depends partly on type of paper. I used 300gsm watercolor paper (cold pressed), because I wanted to get the texture in the swatch of that one

These are highly activated paints,aka can be dissolved even after fully drying, and and WILL rub off if touched with anything wet,even after completely drying. While it's definitely way more in this case,this is honesty an issue with gansai tambi in general, which is why except the special colours,I don't use kuretake gansai tambi(and use ordinary watercolor or pigments from watercolor pencils,which adhere to the paper once dry),in spite of how beautifully pigmented they are: for someone with hyperhydrosis like me,just touching it is enough to ruin it, especially in hot weather . So..... sealing with 2-3 layers of matte varnish is absolutely essential

I'll be honest though. With my current watercolor skills, I can absolutely achieve similar bleeding colours effect. But that's really deliberate and purposeful, and this paint is unpredictable. It's spontaneous and fun, and good when not feeling like putting in effort to make deliberate gradients.

I scanned it and uh.... it's??? Blue?¿? But the parts where I used normal watercolor scanned normally???

I'm baffled

I don't understand

Why and how??? Do I have to change scanner settings? To what? Help what does that mean???

In the end I had to take a photo and ,it, thankfully looked exactly like irl, and did my best to edit it,which uh...I haven't done that in ages,that sucked so bad

Final thoughts:

A few cons, but honestly worth the effort. It's extremely fun and mesmerizing to use. Not being able to scan is very annoying but I can get around it. I look forward to using it for some fanarts!!
