Our Brand Ambassadors are back – this time with loads of tips and techniques for working with DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Ground. Brush it thin, brush it thick, tint it light, tint it dark. use it for texture or use it for corrections – it’s such a versatile material that belongs in every watercolorist’s supply cabinet.

With a coat or two of archival-quality Watercolor Ground, you can transform almost any surface into something more like cold-press watercolor paper. You can get the same distinctive, transparent qualities of watercolor on wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, glass, stone, plaster, canvas and more.

It comes in six colors, which you can use straight out of the jar or tint with your choice of DANIEL SMITH watercolors from the tube:  Titanium White, Buff Titanium, Mars Black, Iridescent Gold, Pearlescent White and Transparent.
