Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground 4oz Jar, Titanium White

The beautiful medium of watercolor has been confined to a paper-behind-glass niche for too long. However, with this exciting new ground, anything you've dreamed of painting with watercolor can now 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, taking advantage of their transparency and granulation, blending and flowing qualities which make watercolors special.

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. You can apply it straight from the container using a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish, and one coat will cover most surfaces.

To allow the watercolor ground to attain the correct degree of absorption, you'll need to let it 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.

Finally, as with all watercolors, your work on Daniel Smith watercolor ground will need to be fixed if it will not be framed behind glass. This ensures that your artwork is protected and preserved for years to come.

In conclusion, this exciting new ground opens up a world of possibilities for watercolor artists. With its easy application, versatility, and ability to protect your work, Daniel Smith watercolor ground is a game-changer in the world of this beautiful medium.
