This is me playing with materials.It's a watercolour (watercolor for Americans) using granulation medium - gets a lovely textured effect.
Please ask if you want to know how to use it.

Hi, I absolutely love and admire your work. I read your comments on another piece and thought that you would be able to offer some valuable comments when I work with watercolour. At the moment I'm using oils but I had a lot of training using watercolour and think they have an amazing luminous quality. I'm inspired by your work and once I have completed the pieces that I have on the go at the moment I think I will start using watercolour again. I will have a go at experimenting with some of the techniques you spoke of Anyway, thank you very much for inspiring me. I love this site for just that reason. Other peoples work is just so inspiring.

You can add it directly to watercolour that's ready mixed on the palette. You can add it to wet watercolour on the paper. It works incredibly well when used with sepia acrylic ink as well as watercolour - just add it to both while wet (pref on the paper).
It will help colours that have low granulation to appear to have sediment. It doesn't really work with any pale colours (ie yellows) but looks brilliant with darker tones.
