Schmincke Super Granulating Watercolor 40 Dot Card Swatch

In this video, I'll swatch out the Schmincke Super Granulating Watercolor 40 dot card and give my opinions on the paint. I'm on the search for a granulating watercolor palette.

I love the bright shades of blue, though I like all blues. I love the colour teal when it hands more blue in it than not. Thank you for sharing your technique of exploring the paints with paper--- granulation and dried shades.

This is enlightening. Who knew a color chart could be so much fun? It also reinforces for me how little I've done with color, partly because I never caught on to the names not necessarily matching the colors. Fascinating. Can't wait to see what you do with them! I need to do a chart like this before using color again. Awesome video! And a nice Monday morning treat.🥰🥰🥰

These colours were my first encounter with Schmincke as well! I completely agree with you! I love Daniel Smith much more. Great videos!

Something is very wrong. I have mine swatched on Hahnemuhle burgund rough paper and the colors are very different. The volcano yellow and red are extremely bright in my set and I think you are missing out on the color separation of many of those colors. Do you have any Escoda brushes you could try? That might be an issue, I don't know. I will say you'll get more color separation with more water. But again, something isn't right. Keep playing with them.

[ChericeByler]

Wow! I have always been curious about these and felt I was missing out. Well, not anymore! You saved me a ton of money as I’m no longer interested in them at all. Great video!!

[denisebiely]

Thanks! That was very interesting. Thank you for what you share with us. Awesome.

Water, water, water is key for these paints.

Winsor Newton Professional watercolor Lemon Yellow Deep (PY159) is modestly granulating, extremely lightfast, and separates from some of the colors I've tried mixing it with. I've recently been playing with it and rather like it. It is not strong tinting, but it most definitely a lemon, and builds quite well to a strong punch of a yellow. It also rewets from dry quite easily. It's quite lovely with Rose Madder Genuine (also modestly granulating, but not lightfast if that matters to your work). It's the same pigment number as the Volcano Yellow, but doesn't have the issues you see to have with the Schmincke.
The Volcano Red is just cadmium red, so really surprised that it has so many issues. WN's cadmiums granulate and have good flow, maybe not "super" granulation, but they do granulate. Rewetting from dried is easy with WN paints.

I recently bought a tube of desert orange. King of disappointed. I think I'll stick with Renesans. Have you tried Renesans? Super cheap and super granulated

[pamelaavery]

So much better from tube into pans. I LOVE their random grey 2022. I was able to buy a second tube on Amazon last month. I’m hoping for a random grey 2023… but who knows…🤪

The volcano set could be brighter certainly. I paint a lot of Kilauea volcano and that lava is VIBRANT. I use the DS Permanent and Perinone oranges for my lava and lunar black for the cinder cone or dried cool lava. But I could see myself using that volcano red and violet in spots on top of or mixed in with the vibrant oranges to show the texture and darkened color of lava that is slightly cooled. But I can do that with things out of the Primatek line that I already have. Part of me still kinda wants that volcano line but I just can't justify the money for something I have to mix with other things anyway to get what I want out of it.

[annacount]

Good review of granulating colors, and mostly I agree with your conclusions. I don’t believe I could make a good palatte unless I mixed some of the Volcano colors with my W-N non-granulating counterparts. (Deep Deep Light has a pretty orange called Day Lily Orange that you might like, but I don’t know how much it granulates)

[eugenborcan]

I wonder if they miss-labeled some of these?
Cus some of them seems to not match with what I think they suppose to be (to my eyes).

[denisebiely]

I love the granulated too, Pete. Most often I use both…🤷🏼‍♀️

[ricurtis]

I've used these paints for ages now. All mine look much much more vibrant than yours!. You really need to use a good brush, holding LOADS of water on a bigger you'll see the granulation!...small swatches with a water brush will not give you a true picture.

[christinabaer]

I switched my on the same paper.
And they looked very foggy.
But on hahnemühle 100% cotton they looked brighter.
And in the pans they are better to rewet them.
I buy tubes and pans and they rewet very easily and they are very stronger.
And definitely more water.
I don't know why but they love it, and separates better.

[UNKUHNOODLES]

YIKES!!! These colors really blow! SMINKY is either running an elaborate scam here or they're smoking more dope at their headquarters than I do... Those shire colors... WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!? Thank you for blowing the lid offa these bums!!! 😝😝😝😂

[vaninafernandez]

Escuche que el papel de celulosa es mejor para resaltar el efecto de separacion y granulación. El papel de algodon absorbe demasiado y no da tiempo al efecto

[noonekennedy]

If I can get red, yellow and blue, then yea, I can make a pallet out of that.

[artwithalexander]

thanks for sharing these, i might even get some of them some day. call me odd but i dream of having a small pallet of blacks, "shades of black" maybe an odd thing but it's hard to mix a shade of black for me.
