Description

Super Granulation "Urban" Horadam Watercolours
Five special colours with very strong granulating effect developed for painting urban environments. Containing Urban Yellow, Urban Red, Urban Green, Urban Brown, and Urban Grey, this set is the perfect addition to your regular colours for adding depth, texture, and mood to urban sketching.

Granulation is a natural effect where particles of pigment too coarse or heavy to remain evenly dispersed in water collect in the grain of the paper. By combining at least 2 granulating Horadam pigments, the Horadam Super Granulating effect is made. This creates a wider range of visual textures for added depth and interest.

As watercolours, they respond to controlled measures of paint plus water, in combination with specific papers. Maximum effect is achieved when the perfect ratio of paint to water plays with the particular surface texture of the paper. The colour should not be too concentrated, or the pigments won’t separate so obviously, but not be so dilute that there’s insufficient colour to show the effect.

As all Horadam Super Granulating Watercolours are non-staining, they can be re-worked to heighten the granulating effect, if originally painted too densely.
