How To Mix The Super Granulating Urban Green by Schmincke

The separation in the dish looks like art too♥️

Yes definitely interested in the differences of pigments between brands

PY159 is also sold as a single pigment watercolor paint from Winsor and Newton. They call it Lemon Yellow Deep and it also granulates. Turner's Mars Black (PBk11) is intensely granulating.

I love supergranulating colours from Schmincke. I have the whole set of all of them (excluding urban) in half pans and many more in individual tubes. Obviousely I have all their single pigments in tubes!❤

Schminke really has it going on! I make my own paints and I have tried many binder formulas, out of curiosity, Schminke has theee best watercolour binder by far. I really have to get a set of the super granulation.

Love that you show how to make super granulating colors!!! Just subscribed!! ❤❤

I totally agree with You. I don’t see a point to buy expensive multiple pigments paint (like super granulating ones from Schminke), when I can buy used pigments and mix it by my own. And I have more options because I can change the ratio of pigments or like You suggest mix only few of them together. So I buy mono-pigment paints and break this rules only for not expensive ones (for example buying local paints).

Very informative

WN makes Lemon Yellow Deep, which is just PY159.

I would love this color for nature, such as fog, moss, lichen, pebbles, seashells, distant mountains, and even stormy skies. It also has a very vintage nostalgia feel to me. Mementos in the attic such as ribbon or upholstery, old faded vacation photos, vintage kitchens, worn wallpaper, etc. I can absolutely see it used for urban things that are typically more grey, such as metal, stone, or concrete. Also historic military subjects. I love this color, but don't plan to use it because cobalt is not earth friendly. Hopefully I can come up with an alternate. :)

PY159= Winsor Newton Lemon Yellow Deep AND PY159 Renesans Intense-it’s a much warmer hue I’ve been experimenting with PY159 for about 3 years, after seeing it in so many of the SGran… Winsor Newton has little to no granulation; HOWEVER, after I ran out of my tube of volcano yellow-I started playing, trying to get the same effect, mixing Winsor Newton & Renesans, 2:1. There really is SO many cool mixes because of the larger particle size-(I need to check, I think it was Amethyst, a dab of PV23 + PY159. You get granular, separation and just a bit of shimmer -shades of dark purple/dusky violet/gray/yellow-gray). I have several pages of JUST mixes with PY159. OH-also, if you’re working with volcano yellow, I’m sure you know it can be harder to wet down..and it can actually affect the mixing-out of the tube it has a higher tinting ability than from the pan unless it’s been sitting & rewet awhile. The Winsor Newton and Renesans don’t have this issue. As much as I love doing mixing charts, seeing the often breathtaking results, and even mulling my own paints and mixes; my style of painting doesn’t have a lot of “give” for the unpredictability. My daughter and I used that dusky violet above in an urban painting we attempted to do. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️. We’re both just self-taught although my best friend IS a retired art professor, most of her work was in oils, pastels and inks. I’m retired, legally blind (and getting worse, unfortunately), physically challenged healthcare professional and microbiologist. No art..and boy do I regret it now. 😂. That’s OK..Liz floods me with books, lots of advice for me and my daughter..and even an occasional slumber party..or as her wonderful hubby of 48yrs calls us “crazy old American hippies” 😁. Ok…I need to go swatch my new paints

PB36 is cobalt chromium oxide and like most cobalts you will find it in different hues even among the same brand. Thanks for sharing this. I love color mixing videos. Winser and Newton has a PY159 but I don't believe it's granulating.

I have just started painting, I bought the Schmincke shire set of super granulating, but I don’t get why we want them to granulate.

Ugh I saw urban green
