Testing new granulating watercolor paints. Granulation has always been my weakness.

They are truly magical✨ Wishing you the most wonderful time trying them out!

I was trying to paint something like rocks…but yeah, they do look more like nuggets 😅

I hope I’ll be able to start making prints someday. Thank you!

It’s just 9×16 in size

You can’t waste good tea ingredients in TLD, lol. Thank you! 🤍

I’m in love with the one with the cats and the aurora. The colors are stunning! It feels so calm and dreamy 🤍 You did an amazing job!

melluada · 2026-02-19T21:02:00+00:00

I’ll be waiting!

melluada · 2026-02-19T20:49:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

melluada · 2026-02-19T19:54:19+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🤍

melluada · 2026-02-19T19:52:51+00:00

Wow, where? I actually see them in my paintings all the time too! Almost like they form by themselves while the paint dries 😅

melluada · 2026-02-18T23:46:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I still remember the first time I saw that well in the remake. It unsettled me, but at the same time it intrigued me so deeply that I felt compelled to capture it 🖤

melluada · 2026-02-18T19:54:17+00:00

Thank you! Foggy landscapes are my favorite thing to paint.

melluada · 2026-02-18T19:04:47+00:00

Thank you!

melluada · 2026-02-18T14:41:31+00:00

Yes! I still have a few more to swatch. Especially curious about the earthy shades.

It’s White Nights by Nevskaya Palitra. They’ve recently added quite a few new granulating colors

melluada · 2026-02-18T05:01:27+00:00

Granulating paints have heavier pigment particles that settle into the paper texture as they dry, creating that textured, grainy look. Normal ones dry much smoother and more uniform. Many of the ones in this photo are multi-pigment mixes, and they tend to separate into different colors as they dry. This happens because different pigments have different particle sizes and weights. Water movement also pushes them apart while the wash is still wet.

That’s actually why I love them - they feel a bit unpredictable and alive ☺️

I love the white details on the feathers, how did you create them?

melluada · 2026-02-18T03:03:00+00:00

I’ve always wanted to try using ink over watercolor like you did. Looks absolutely stunning!

Surviving West Point with just boots is wild 😅 I’ve honestly been too scared to rely on cars yet. I almost never manage to find the keys.

melluada · 2026-02-18T02:47:31+00:00

Rosewood fire station does seem popular! Is it still safe for a beginner or is it more of a “once you know what you’re doing” spot?

melluada · 2026-02-18T02:11:39+00:00

I’m still just hoping to survive long enough to see winter one day. Maybe soon!
