Did you know that you can paint Watercolor Ground on virtually any surface to mimic watercolor paper? Paint with watercolor on wood, ceramic, metal, paperboard, glass, plastic, fabric, and stone. Go beyond the flat paper and create your art on lots of different dimensional décor items like metal flower pots, plaster masks and wood animals.

Jean Haines’ All That Shimmers set of Luminescent Watercolors are especially beautiful on a black surface – they take on a whole new dimension. With her special selection of six shimmering colors, your projects can have a glowing luster that’s nearly magical!  After a coat of Mars Black Watercolor Ground, you can give a porcelain mask a beautiful facelift, paint some new spots on a cute wood cat, or convert a dollar store metal bucket into a work of art.
