Winsor & Newton granulating medium for watercolors - is there a way to make this work?

- I have seen a lot of artists use this granulating medium from WInsor & Newton but the majority of them that had good results was not using watercolors but some other medium. When you use watercolors this medium will sometimes work and sometimes it will not. It probably depends on the brand and color which you are using

It’s a shame that it didn’t work, thanks for sharing! saves us money and time trying it ourselves
It would be good if you’d shown how to use this after reading the directions first because I’ve seen it work for other that followed the instructions. Your quality of watercolours matters also
Works great for me, and have used it for years. It’s effectiveness depends on the pigments, water application, paper. You need to use it very generously with non-granulating fine pigments and/or “organic” pigments. Research “organic” vs. “Inorganic” in pigments. (These words are defined very differently in pigment science than they are defined in the food industry.) You can mix it in your your paint without water- and this is how Windsor Newton demos on their video on CZcams. It does take some time to let it work. Overall, you used it too sparingly. It also helps to mist the wet paint swatch lightly after the mix is brushed on the paper.

This is useful video. At least I know it does not work :) Thank you for testing it for me :)
I have never tried granulation medium, but from what I always believed it is intended to make already granulating paints granulate more. I could be totally wrong about this, but that always seemed like the most logical purpose for me. Because if colors do not granulate at all, then they have very finely milled pigments, right? And to granulate you need bigger pigment particles or some other big particle in the paint, like how fillers can sometimes cause this granulation-like effect. Maybe try the medium with paints that already do granulate, and with paints that contain a lot of fillers.
I watched a clip where the artist put quite a lot of colour on wet paper then drop the granulating fluid on top.
