Hello! Since many people are interested in this new Holbein Granulating watercolor now, I've come to the decision (while filming this actually) to upload the uncut, unedited video. I will do my best to edit a nice and shorter video and upload it within a week. I'm also thinking of making two versions, one with voice-over in Polish, and one in English! :D
So if you're really interested in swatches - here they are! If you can bear the awkward pauses and a long vid, let's go! :D
I bought my paints here, for 7,744JPY:

Thank you Keiko for kindly bringing my paints to Poland :D
Enjoy the video!

THANKYOU for swatching on a good 100% cotton paper ‼️ Many Holbein swatching lately have NOT used good paper. 🙏🏼 I’m VERY GRATEFUL!! 💕

Love this video. First time I watched you. Some of the colors I love. You mentioned the Schmenke granulating. I have a few of them. Also found a Canadian company called Rockwell that has some beautiful ones. I am going to follow. I really enjoyed

My gosh, it's kind of you to say all those nice things!!! :) Thank you and I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Yes, nowadays so many watercolor paint makers have got granulating paints, honestly Holbein is a little bit late to the ball ;)

yay! thanks for showing us! i'm sad mimosa yellow is low tinting. several of these seem very dejavu to me because they're similar to kusakabe harmonia colours. surprisingly i like pampas yellow and jade vine blue haha~

I think in this day and age we have tons of granulating/separating/specialty watercolors to choose from, so indeed it would be hard for Holbein to come up with something incomparable and revolutionary. I suppose if someone already has a nice selection of franulating colors, there's no need to get this whole set, maybe 2-3 colors they reaaaally like :) Mimosa Yellow is not the only weak color, quite a few of them seem low tinting, eg Lunar Eclipse Red or Trumpet Vine Red also felt kind of weak, like maybe too much binder. But maybe that's just my luck and the paint deeper in the tube will behave differently

@@Mmmmagu that's very true. i think schmincke came out with a great range and we definitely saw many similar ones in the white nights' granulating colours. as time goes on, i'm sure there will be less and less 'new' colour combos/pigment combos. i was really glad we got to see u squeeze the paint onto the paper because that also gives info as to whether or not a colour is strong tinting or not. some people make swatch videos (myself included) that don't have that part for viewers to gauge so i think it was very nice to have seen that here :D

@@PaintinHiding oh, thank you for the feedback! :D to me it seems like those paints aren't extremely strong/pigmented/cost-effective, so I'd like them to be sold in 10ml tubes tbh I think it's visible in the video that I don't skimp on the paint, but still it's not very strong ^^;

@cherryola5503 11 күн бұрын

Mimosa yellow looks similar to one of the colors from Schmincke Shire set - shire olive or green :) just wanted to comment while watching so I wont forget :D

@Mmmmagu 11 күн бұрын

That's possible. Is that color also so weak in pigment? To me it seemes similar to Green Earth or that one Roman Szmal earth pigment green, bc they are all very delicate. I have none of those colors tho, so just speculating... :)

Yes! That was my first thought as well!

I find these colors a bit underwhelming... I appreciate you sharing these colors. It helps in determining if I will buy them, which I think I'll pass.

@Mmmmagu 11 күн бұрын

Great, I wanted people to be able to see how the paints perform and make an informed decision. We are so often tempted to buy a new product, just because it's new... I fall victim to that thinking myself XD So if my video can help anyone, it's served its purpose. I agree that some colors are undewhelming ^^

Great analysis!!!I have received that some weekend ago but my swatches are horrible since I am so impatient! You do it so well and patiently... thank you!!! I have bought mine in the Discovery Japan Mall by the way.

@Mmmmagu 12 күн бұрын

Oh, great to know you can buy those paints that way. I know many artists impatiently waiting for those to be released in Europe! The shop where I got them is in the description btw ^^ Thank you for watching! :D What are your favourite colors?

Never seen these before. But i am here in USA KY so...

They are a just released new product in Japan! We can't buy them in Europe yet too :) I guess they will become available outside Japan in a few weeks or months ^^

Do you have a link for English version of the the site to buy this set of Granulation color? Thank you

@Mmmmagu 8 күн бұрын

there is no English version, it's a Japanese online store ^^ I suppose you can use your browser's translate function though! :)

I guess if you put the extra second set in a box or something you can leave it there and wait ten or twenty years to see if it’s worth more. There may be pigments on it that may disappear someday. I know some people today would pay extra for tubes containing PO49 quin gold or PB33 manganese blue or py153 new gamboge, especially single pigment or some of the two pigment ones like some old Sap greens that were reformulated.

@Mmmmagu 11 күн бұрын

Yes, I'm aware of the discontinued pigments thing, I was lucky enough to get a little sample of PO49 from a friend who bought just the pigment, and made the watercolor paint herself! :D But I don't really think of them as an investment, I just want to use them and have fun. They should become available for purchase outside Japan soom ^^

If a pigment is lightfast, wouldn’t it be lightfast across all mediums? I like some of their colors, but don’t want the whole set.

Boże tak czekam aż będą w Polsce, a najlepiej na sztuki....

Ja też czekam, bo jakoś mnie to uspokaja jeśli w każdej chwili mogę kupić ulubiony kolor gdy się skończy - a te tubki są małe i kolory średnio wydajne XD

You're very welcome :) I agree that the paper we swatch on is important. 100% cotton paper is unmatched for watercolors!
