## Overview

Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground is a premium 4oz jar of titanium white medium designed to transform absorbent and semi-absorbent surfaces into ideal watercolor grounds.

Perfect for artists seeking to expand watercolor techniques beyond traditional paper, it enhances paint absorption and durability while remaining tintable for custom effects.

## 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.

Review: Super easy way to seal watercolor art. - I saw this product being used on an art demo on UTUBE to seal watercolor postcards. It really works well at keeping your pictures waterproof, and is very easy to apply. It goes a long way so you don't have to use much for perfect results.
Review: Great but you got a learning curve - excellent daniel smith always good stuff. now how you use it..........hmmmm you gotta experiment . Might be exactly the look you want. i use arches watercolor paper and cotton canvas with Blick gesso usually.........and I have found multiple effects that please me. takes preparations to use.......drying time choice of surface. But it is a wonderful tool in the arsenal.

## 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I apply this ground on regular paper and used it in my printer**
A: You could, I guess, the colors will be very muted, I expect.  There is a medium for exactly that purpose called Digital Ground.  You brush it on your paper, let dry, and run through ink jet printer.

**Q: Can it be used on watercolor paper?**
A: Transparent Watercolor Ground is meant to create a surface that replicates a watercolor paper surface, so there is no purpose in using it on watercolor paper. However, if you wish to paint watercolor on canvas, the watercolor ground will work well.

**Q: is this like using gesso with acrylics to cover mistakes? Can it cover mistakes you make on your watercolors and allow you to paint over it?**
A: Yes it is a type of gesso and yes, it does cover mistakes, however, unless you use several coats, it is a bit transparent.  I used it to paint out a lake (that looked really bad) and replace it with a meadow.  It worked quite well.  I would try and lift your watercolor first, then use this product.  The little jar goes a long way too.  Pretty cool product for watercolor artists.

**Q: Can this be used to somehow repair a pea-sized hole in Arches 140 cold pressed paper?**
A: Watercolor ground may not form a self sustainable layer matching with such high quality gsm paper. I can suggest that you can paste a small piece of paper from back of the hole and then fill it up with this ground from main side. Quality is fantastic. When applying the ground atleast two coats are necessary on the entire paper, in vertical and horizontal direction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for coloring books!
*by A***N on March 14, 2018*

Fast and easy way to make cheap coloring book paper accept traditional watercolor or Inktense with a wet brush. I wanted to use my play time to improve my beginner watercolor skills, instead of relying on colored pencils or markers. But even the books designed for watercolors were pilling and blotching under my heavy handed treatment. The DS transparent ground gives enough protection and a slightly toothy surface, plus allows more lifting, which has vastly improved my results. Very pleased! NB! I cheat on the application to make life easier (it’s play time, after all). Spritz about a teaspoon of water into a recycled mayo jar lid, soak a 1 1/2” flat taklon brush and use it to scoop a good dollop (3-4 tablespoons) of the ground into the lid. Using the brush, stir until the water is absorbed, scrape off the brush into the lid, and paint one thin layer onto as many pages as possible until you run out of ground. Spread them out to dry, wash the brush and lid, and have a cup of coffee. By the time the coffee is gone, something will be dry enough to paint on. Put the other pages away to cure for later, but I haven’t had any problems just diving in, as soon as everything’s dry to the touch. Obviously, this is not recommended to real art, but it works fine for casual play.
