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. Here are a few tips for getting the best results.
- 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
