Hey Ted,
Thanks for the comment. You know me…I am sure I will make it available, but probably for free. I keep telling myself I ought to sell brushes, but then I just make them for fun…so I share them.
Stay warm,

I am using two methods. First, the brushes are Real Watercolor variants. In the Real Watercolor Brush Control Panel, there is a slider for granulation…so I am using that. The paper being used makes a big difference, too. I am using a custom watercolor paper that has a heavy texture. The granulation slider can be affected by the Roughness slider as well…increasing it will increase the effect of granulation. Second, I made a separate layer and filled it with white. Then I created a selection from the paper and filled with black. Then I created a layer mask and filled the channel with black, which conceals the texture. I changed the layer composite method to overlay and using a brush with white paint, I painted on the layer mask revealing the texture I wanted where I wanted it. The overlay composite method also lightens the colors…so I get the added fading of color…you can see this on the edges of the petals. It is hard to explain in writing. I’ll explain it better when I do some videos. Right now, I am just exploring. Thanks for your comment. Skip
Skip, your hibiscus is gorgeous. Your creative spirit glows.
Thanks Stasha. I think the red glows. 🙂
Hi Skip,
Wonderful watercolor brush, are you going to make this available to buy? Regards, Ted

The texture is exquisite. How’s the granulation done?

Very wonderful, Skip!

Thanks again Colleen. I really appreciate the comment.
