This was just too wonderfully quirky and fun! With what other paints could our esteemed artist observe, "This must be the orange because it's green." 😂Love, LOVE these paints and all of the unpredictability, yet stunning and unique results. Can't wait to purchase one day. You really knocked it out of the park with this review and demo, Diane. All of the examples, experiments, observations and different papers...and dragonflies! You are one of a kind here on KZfaq for so many wonderful reasons! Thanks so much! 🙏👏❤

I think your rooster requires your attention lol. His voice kept getting louder & louder until he drifted away again 🐓 Perhaps he’s recommending you paint him in his (no doubt) magnificence 😊

Oh, I love the effects created with these paints! I agree with the comments about these acting more like color shift paints, rather than granulating. Either or, it's all fun. I couldn't resist ordering, they'll be here tomorrow. Congratulations on being noticed by Kuretake, it's about time! You are an excellent ambassador for the brand!

Hi Diane I watched this video on my television, but had to come on my phone because I just have to comment. I wanted to say you have boosted Kuretake for so long in addition to that little set, they should send you every other set a hoodie, T-shirts, and a trip to Japan to tour the factory! Thanks for another lovely inspiring video ❤

Love the Rooster in the background 😃 enjoy your tutorials, always learn from you 🙏

I love unpredictable paints with multiple colours in them. It’s why I love Distress Oxides & Brushos so much. It’s funny that I love them so much, when I tend to paint very detailed, controlled, precise images. But when I use uncontrollable mediums, I get results I like much better

Thanks for sharing these cool paints! For sure, I’m getting these, amazing colors!!! You are a fabulous artist. I’m 74 , an artist my whole life and I still learn something new every day. ❤❤❤

Congratulations on being noticed! I’m so happy for you. Well deserved. I absolutely love the effects of this paint.

Kuretake making granulating paints 😱 ❤️❤️ I love their nouveau set. Congratulations on getting products from companies, love it! Well deserved

Congratulations on finally being recognized by Kuretake . . . a feather in your cap for sure! I'm in love with the idea of these paints and they are going on my "delayed gratification" list. (I wonder how long I'll hold out, lol) BTW, I love hearing Remy in the background. Thanks for bringing these new paints to our attention!

Those paints are definitely made for fairies & dragonflies. What a lovely effect when the colours separate

Ooooooooo!!!!!! "Granulating" and "Kuratake" in the same sentence! You've got my attention now.

Just the perfect thing to catch the iridescent quality of insect wings, certain types of bird feathers, soap bubbles and so much more! Thank you.

I’m happy that these are now affordable. Originally they were twice as much. Although I wanted them… I could not buy them then. Hooray! I now have them.

I loved the way they turned out as a wash! TFS!

Diane, thank you for another informative and fun video. I'm in love with the colors and the affect of the Kuretake granulating paints. You know me, I love vintage and these are going to be so much fun to paint with! As I was watching your video and seeing your birds and dragonflies, it reminded me that until fate (via KZfaq) brought you into my life, I never was able to draw anything remotely looking like a bird or dragonfly. Because of watching your videos and you taking the time to sketch your drawings out for us, I am now able to draw a bird that actually looks like a bird, and a dragonfly that looks like a dragonfly. Your beautiful, calming voice and sweet stories relax me and creates an environment to relax in. After watching this video, I just purchased the paints and they arrive tomorrow. My husband will be thrilled that I've purchased more paints...(that's a joke). But in all sincerity, he is very supportive of me growing as an artist and he's my biggest fan, always reminding me about how much I've improved. Thank you for getting me to the place I am now, and whether I'm "good" at painting or not, it doesn't matter, I'm having fun!

Oh, my, I thought I had all the art supplies I need for a very long time. These are going on my wish list. Maybe for Mother's Day?

Interesting! That’s not what other granulating paints I’ve seen have done, but I like the effect. Love the green-gold bird using the Michael Harding paints too. Remy gives me a chuckle, and I always like seeing the other animals and the landscape at your home.

What an interesting paint. You've gotten some fascinating results with your experimenting. They look fun!

My Kuretake Gansai are my favorite , especially the Art Nouveau! I had no idea they had granulating come out. I will definitely be buying them, thanks to you sharing about them.

Oh wow the dragonflys are sooo beautiful. I like the other paintings too. I have recently received these paints and I needed to watch a number of videos. They are surely a fun play.

It looks quite fun! My only hesitation is that it seems that at least three of the colors end up sort of looking alike…please tell me if I am wrong because if they each have a different color, I think I would like to play with them! Thank you! Lovely dragonflies! Would like to see more of your creations using them before I purchase! Thank you! Again! 😊

I would love to see a landscape tutorial from you with these granulating colours!

Its about time you were recognized by kuretake! Well... I think I now have all of the paint they have to offer. I just ordered these granulation colors. How fun are these. Thanks Diane 😊❤

Bonjour Diane , wouah ... il fallait y penser ! des couleurs qui se separent . Ils savent plus quoi inventer ! Si ca nous fait devenir meilleur en aquarelle pourquoi pas ! En tout cas tes dessins sont tres beaux , j aime surtout l oiseau et les libellules . Merci de partager tes nouveautes avec nous , tu as beaucoup travailler . Merci pour tes gentils messages ca me fait toujours chaud au coeur de te lire . Ici il fait beau mais a cause du vent tres fort il fait froid . J aime entendre ton coq . Bises mon amie , a bientot

I just got mine Wednesday and I'm crazy about them! Your art work is gorgeous as always!!! 😍😍😍

These paints would be wonderful for Neurographic doodles

So much fun. I can see that the paints will take some experimenting! Thanks for a great demo. Dragon flies turned out beautiful. My watercolor class this week is doing a landscape with granulating colors.I only have a couple granulating watercolors but I have a small pan set of Derwent graphitint paints which a quite granulating.

This very unusual paint. I love the background painting and the dragonflies. It's perfect. I'm terrible at painting dragonflies this would work.

These are in my cart in Amazon, for about two weeks now, but waiting for a sale before I pull the trigger. Seems high for 5 shades.

If you ask me, I think trying to figure the paints without the swatch would slow down my creativity moment. Would definitely take some getting used to.

Oh Diane, thank you so much for sharing this. I LOVE kuretake. My favorite paints. These look so much fun. Will be my first purchase next pay day!

Verrrrrrrrry interesting! Those are really weird paints. Thanks for demonstrating all the ways you can use them.

Excellent review, Diane. I suspect i would not have been happy with these paints if i hadn't seen your review. Now they will go on my want list!

I loved the pallet!😍 Those colors are beautiful 😍 . Thank you for the tutorials . Greetings from North Carolina 🇺🇸

Saw your intro and immediately clicked your link to Amazon and bought them - I missed out with the Art Nouveau set and had to wait for such a long time for them to reappear and didn't want to risk the same with this wonderful-looking granulating set. I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves. I'm going to have a go at those dragonflies as soon as the paints arrive!

I just got these the other day & did swatches and OH MY GOODNESS… they are beautiful. I love granulating watercolors. Can’t wait to actually paint something using these beauties. 💜🎨🖌️

I got mine a few days ago and haven't stopped playing with them

Love the tropical look of these colors

This painting looked like fun and I always like your dragonflies 🙂Blessings

Congratulations Diane! Putting in my order today. Can’t wait to try this lovely paints. Love the dragonflies 💕🥰

Oh, my! I actually did see a different video about these paints, but the author didn't follow the directions... I wasn't terribly impressed. But now that I see what they do, I'm very impressed! ❤❤❤ Im thinking that the cost of the paint is worth the education on how to work with granulating paints to get the biggest effect from them. 😊❤ Thank you so much for the show and tell. 🎉🎉🎉

Cohesive is the word you were looking for. The swatch colors are beautiful

Dear Diane, really in-depth video on these paints, thanks for sharing. How amazing how the paint splits into two different colours, wonder what's in them 😯 I love your dragonflies, they turned out beautiful 😍

So interesting! Love the dragonflies.

Very intriguing! I love what you were able to do with them! Thanks for sharing!

WOW....didn't see that coming! LOL. I love all the painting you with that set. Really reallly pretty. I will save for a set. Thanks again, Diane for sharing another wonderful product and your amazing art talent to go with it. Have a wonderful weekend!

I have tried to paint the kind of black that shows blues and greens, like when you look at oil spilled on the road. My sister had a black rooster, the colors were just amazing. These paints might also make nice beetles. Some of them look like 'rainbow' colors.

Thanks so much for the video on these paints. Glad Kuretake recognized you!

Thankyou Diane for such an informative post detailing these lovely new colours. Love them, and your dragonfly painting😀

Great class time given. Thanks.

Ooooo, these are lovely - love your dragonflies. 🙏😂

I love and love the Kuretake paints! Thank you for introducing us to this new set! Beautiful painting and I love the birds you showed us at the beginning of the video!

Ooooh noooooo! I just said i cant buy any more paints!!!!! I need these now!!! Aaww jeez!! Ps so glad kuretake recognised u, thats wonderful!!!

Just a sign of live. I am having a few weeks trip in Ierland . The internet is very bad . So I continue watching being back home. Amazing how much work you still offering every day it seems to keep your channel alive. One more week to go in Ierland and then I will visiting again.😊wim

This is really interesting! I guess each one of the granulating colors can provide enough flexibility for a whole painting so it allows you to just jump in and start painting. I once did a painting with moon glow and i wish i had allowed the paint to separate the way you showed so I could have experimented with the individual colors in it. I’ll definitely have to try that.

It’s official, you’ve reached the big time!! 😉Blessings! -USA

What wonderful exercise! You’ve inspired me to order and do some flying creatures 💃🏼❤ Thank you for this 🙏

Awesome tutorial with Stunning results!! Thank you so very much for sharing!!!

I think I would really enjoy these paints. I love the Kuretake paint sets so this would be a good addition.

Thank you! I’ve been checking out these paints, but you explained better how to use them properly. I would have been disappointed otherwise.

Just bought them 🙌💝 SO EXCITED!!!

Fabulous thank you for reviewing🤩

Thank you for this video!

I bought this set for a birthday present for my friend. We had a ball playing with them. The violet and the blue each separate into magnificent skies and seas. Great surprises! Thank you so much for explaining how to use them!!!

I love these interesting. they would make a great gift for my grand-daughter. I love the dragonflies.

Yes, unfortunately the shipping almost doubled the cost So I suppose I will have to invoke my near non existing patience and see when Amazon Canada has them available I tried going onto the Kuretaki site but I didn’t get far - sign up was only in Japanese which is beyond my reading skill 😂 Thank you for explaining how to use these colours - I love your dragonflies!

Love these paints, absolutely magical!

ooooo so pretty. Love it thanks Diane for showing us

I enjoyed watching this video. I might be tempted to try these colours. I also love the sound of cockerels in the background.

Love your little bird! I think I need these paints!

They look like a lot of fun! Ordered, here in time to play with over the weekend.

Ohhh these look FUN!

This is fabulous! I only own one pan of Kuretake paint and I’ve used it until it’s almost finished. I like to try different products and this is different. I’ve broken my watercolor no buy twice already this year and it’s only April! So I think I’ll try and wait until the end of the year for this. 😳🤣

Love the dragon flies x

Really surprised by these ! Happy I watched:)

I’ve been playing with my granulating set for about a week now. They are not what I expected, as I’m very familiar with Daniel Smith and Schmincke granulating paints. However, they do leave very unusual color patterns when using wet on wet. I don't like using them wet on dry. I am going to try them on yupo paper, as the much longer drying time might really increase the separations of colors. Thank you for this video. The dragonflies are lovely.

These looks so good ☺☺

Wow these are cool. I never knew anything like these existed. Btw your art is beautiful

Great job ! I absolutely love this ! 😍

Love this granulation. These are on my list right now. Thankyou for your review of showing something new. Hope you are sent more things to show us in future too.

I Love these colours ✨👍 will be amazing for my dragonflies thanks for sharing 💓🙏🎨🥹

These paints are amazing. Kuratake paints are wonderful. I’m looking forward to getting these! Thank you for your informative video much appreciated! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing! Your Warbling White Eye is beautiful.

I'm brand new to your channel and to this brand of paint. 😊 Very interesting paint set and colors. Not an everyday set, but it's certainly something special to use when looking to add interest or background. Beautiful! 🤩

I’ve watched a few people use these. The key really seems to be to use a lot of water and work in weak layers.

Oh I have to get these. I had been looking at them but now I see them demonstrated , I definately have to have them.

These paints look magical! I’m ordering them! You sold me lol ❤

I did an image search of dragonflies. I never knew they were so colorful.

Thank you for a great video! I have just received my paints toady, and am thoroughly enjoying them. Thanks for all the tips and tricks on using these amazing paints!

Hello! So, I watched your vid when it first came out, purchased the paint set, but then didn’t get around to trying it out til today. By now, I’d completely forgotten the process and used them directly from the pans to do an abstract landscape. Needless to say, it wasn’t pretty. LOL. Can’t wait til tomorrow so I can go back and do it using the correct process! On another note, I’d love to see your rooster. I feel like he is part of your channel. 😊 Hugs

These are so serendipitous!! Might be good for letting loose and such. Your dragonflies are such a surprise-lovely, but unpredicted!

This was great! This is my fave paint brand so i am always happy to see it ❤

I really enjoyed your video. You fully put these granulating paints through their paces . I particularly liked seeing the paints dried in their pots. It gave me a better understanding of what granulating paints are. I loved seeing you paint the dragonflies and incorporating a watercolor pencil.

I loved the effects… especially with the dragonflies!

love your dragonflies! they remind me of an awesome experience i had one year at our small pond. i noticed a dragonfly larva getting attacked by ants while trying to morph into it's wings. i picked it up & removed the ants then sat it on a rock island i had built into the middle of the pond. checking on it throughout the day i gained hope that it would survive the ant attack. the next morning i hurried out to the pond & there was the dragonfly sitting on a papyrus stem in all it's glory. i started to reach for it then pulled back as i didn't want to harm it more than it had already been harmed, at that point it flew up then back onto the stem so i reached out again & it flew to my hand & let me gently pet it. such a wonderful experience i was gifted with! science can say all they like about there not being any communication between, animals, insects, fish, birds & even plants (including trees) but i am thoroughly convinced that if we just open our minds we will find that nature is just as eager as we are to communicate. keep painting nature!

beautiful, I have several sets of paint from Kuretake, unfortunately this set is out of stock everywhere, but hope to get eventually. Thank you for the review, love the dragonflies x

I must get these I love Kuretaki paints. Loved the video. Thank you. X

What fun! Thanks for another lovely video Diane❤️I am always feeling like I’ve had a visit with a friend after watching your videos. It’s very helpful and I love the new paint effects!

You dragonflies are always a favorite and this paint works well on them! Great demonstration of this interesting paint!
