Thank you! I was worried they would be too nice to work with and I'd feel precious about using them but once I unwrapped them and started having a play, I did not regret it! ❤️ Look forward to sharing the swatches soon!

I came across them on Instagram a couple of years ago and fell in love! Yes, that's a good idea Teresa, perhaps one collection at a time, then by colour group.

These look so beautiful! What does granulating watercolour mean?

Going to check out their page :)

They are gorgeous Sarah 💛 And so many paints to choose from! If there’s any in particular you’d like me to swatch, please let me know!

‘Granulating’ happens when pigments settle or clump together to create a mottled texture in the paint. You can check the individual paints to see if they granulate as not all of them do, and you might not want all your paints to granulate. I personally love the random textures it creates!

I’d love to see the forest ones , I love forests !

Ah I see , I know what you mean . I didn’t know that you could buy them specifically so they granulate - very cool!

It's a lovely effect! I'll be swatching all the ones I've received so you can see which ones granulate.

Thanks for the suggestion Sarah, I'm more than happy to do forests first, I love forests too 💚
