Winsor & Newton Granulation Medium 75ml

Winsor & Newton Granulation Medium transforms smooth watercolour washes into textured, atmospheric effects. This low-viscosity medium encourages pigment particles to separate and settle unevenly, producing a mottled, granulated appearance that adds depth and character to your work.

Simply mix a small amount with your chosen watercolour pigment—especially those prone to granulation like French Ultramarine, Viridian, or Cobalt Blue. Then apply the mixture to wet paper using traditional techniques such as wet-on-wet or layered washes. For maximum impact, tilt or tap your paper gently to guide pigment movement.

Moreover, this medium enhances granulation in pigments that typically produce smooth washes, like Winsor Blue. As a result, you can experiment with new textures and visual effects across landscapes, seascapes, and abstract compositions.

Use rough-textured watercolor paper to intensify the granulation effect. Additionally, the medium is re-soluble, allowing you to rework areas by re-wetting them. Artists love its ability to add organic, nature-inspired textures without altering pigment strength.

Key Benefits:

• Enhances granulation and pigment separation
• Works with granulating and non-granulating colors
• Ideal for wet-on-wet and layered techniques
• Re-soluble and easy to manipulate
• Best on rough-textured watercolour paper
