granulation – ThreeSixFiveArt

April 27: still playing with EEM paints… more flowers (sort of? It started as flowers)

Today I used a couple of QoR colors with the handmade EEM paints. I love the combination of dispersion and granulation…

Ohhh, that lovely QoR dispersion… this brown was just the tiniest dot of color added on top of the wet EEM paint, ‘Tia’.

Look at this intense granulation, from the little dabs of ‘Tia’ dropped in here and there.

Yum.

I think I like QoR better for the leaves, because of the way the paints spread and flow. But the daniel smith blue (cerulean blue chromium) and green (green apatite genuine) granulate so prettily on this picture. Really nobody has such beautiful and interesting granulating colors as DS. (I tried to make a taped off border, which worked except the tape tore the page. I even rubbed it on my jeans first so it wouldn’t be so sticky.)

This is for my granddaughter, by request.
