different approach on the part of the aquarellist (so little paint is needed from the tube or cup for the desired colour effect that you have to get used to the ratio of paint to diluent), the advantages are clear. 

​

It is well known that some pigments used in watercolours display special characteristics: 

 

Granulation: the pigment particles attach themselves to the paper as a splotchy tone. Examples of this include Manganese blue, Ultramarine blue dark and Raw Sienna. 

 

Flocculation: pigment particles aggregate together, giving the same effect as granulation. Examples include Viridian green light and dark, Green Earth and Raw Umber. 

 

The watercolour series also includes a number of opaque, super transparent (with the suffix 'lake' in the name) and semitransparent colours.
