These natural characteristics can be further emphasized by guiding the pigments&rsquo\; flow using gravity\, allowing the particles to move and form random rivulets and clusters. In this one-day workshop\, participants will be introduced to the granulation technique while working with loose\, wet-into-wet methods. We&rsquo\;ll cover how to select the right watercolours that granulate\, how to use granulating mediums\, and share tips and techniques for achieving these unique textures. The workshop will include a variety of show-and-tell materials. Participants will work towards finishing a painting\, following a clear\, step-by-step approach from start to finish. Suitable for all levels\, beginners to experienced.
