Features

  • Absorbent or semi-absorbent surfaces (such as paper, canvas, other fabrics, Wood, plaster, shells and hardboard) require no special prep before brushing on Daniel Smith watercolor ground
  • Apply straight from container using a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish, one coat will cover most surfaces
  • Curing: to allow watercolor ground to attain the correct degree of absorption, let watercolor ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours
  • Because it creates a surface more absorbent than paper, Daniel Smith works best in conjunction with lower-water paints, such as watercolors and thinned acrylics
  • Finishing: as with all watercolors, your work on Daniel Smith watercolor ground will need to be fixed if it will not be Framed behind glass

Description

For too long, the beautiful medium of watercolor has been confined to a paper- behind-glass niche. Now, with this exciting new ground, anything you've dreamed of painting with watercolor can become a reality. It's easy to use- just brush it on-and incredibly versatile. Daniel Smith watercolor ground is much better than gesso's and matte medium at handling lots of water and protects your paper from getting damaged from the water. It allows watercolors to be used in traditional ways to take advantage of their transparency and granulation, blending and flowing qualities which make watercolors special.

    • Watercolor Ground
Color: Titanium White
Keep tightly closed when not in use. It works very well.

    • Easy to use, dark colors absorb into this material and look lighter
Color: Titanium White
I wanted to paint a watercolor on a canvas board and this was a great product to use for my project. I gave my canvas 2 coats with a wide paint brush and it went down smooth and easily. I did like painting on it. The watercolor paints dry much quicker when applied on top of this material. Also it absorbs the color pigment more than regular watercolor paper. It took more time to get a dark color to stay dark when painting. ... show more

    • Great base coat
Color: Titanium White
I'm still learning how to paint, always learning. This transparent goes on first and I love the way it preps the paper. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how to explain what it does but it makes the paint from brush a bit smoother. And easier to correct any small mistakes or smudges, mostly if it's because it lifts a level of paint off the paper itself or what, I don't know. But great base coat. ... show more

    • Good to prep unusual materials
Color: Titanium White
I used this to coat a stiff cardboard to prep it for watercolor, and it worked great. It completely covered the original color. My four stars is because it has dried to a thick paste even though I kept it tightly closed.

    • Great product for watercolor painting.
Color: Titanium White
This is very much like gesso. Paint it on any surface, dry - then sand it if you want it a smooth surface, if you leave it, it is a very rough surface. I like to do a second coat, and again sand it. Now it’s fully prepped. It is a lot like heavy watercolor paper, but more absorbent. I’ve used it on wood, shells, glass, plastic and it allowed me to use watercolors as opposed to acrylics paints. It’s a great product if you prefer watercolor over acrylic painting. Kind of expensive for a small jar, especially if you’re doing any large projects. But it is high quality. ... show more
