The beauty of watercolor is transparency – it gives paintings a distinctive clarity, luminosity and realism. With DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Ground, you can get this unique visual quality on virtually any surface – wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, canvas, plaster, glass, stone and more. Adding a layer of ground gives these surfaces a light, cottony texture that looks and feels similar to cold press watercolor paper. The beautiful medium of watercolor has been confined to a paper-behind-glass niche for too long!
This ground allows the surface of your substrate, like a wood grain or decorative paper, to show through when you paint.
