Since its introduction in 2011, ДЕНІЕЛ СМИТ Акварельна земля has transformed the way artists approach watercolor. As the first product of its kind, it opened the door to something entirely new, the ability to paint watercolor on virtually any surface. More than a decade later, it remains a trusted tool used by artists around the world to expand their creative possibilities.

Watercolor Ground allows you to go beyond traditional paper and explore new surfaces with confidence. Apply it to wood, canvas, paper, metal, glass, or stone, and once dry, it creates a surface with the absorbency and feel needed for watercolor techniques. Whether you are working small or large, smooth or textured, it gives you the freedom to adapt your surface to your vision.

That freedom is what makes Watercolor Ground so powerful. You are no longer limited by the paper you start with, or the SIZE of your canvas! You can choose your surface, your scale, and your texture, and create a foundation that works for your painting style.

Another unique feature is that Watercolor Ground is tintable. You can mix it with up to 10% ДЕНІЕЛ СМИТ Надтонкі акварельні фарби or up to 20% acrylic paint to create a custom-colored ground.

This opens up even more creative possibilities, allowing you to begin your painting on a toned surface rather than white. From soft neutrals to bold, expressive color, tinting your ground can influence mood, unify your palette, and add depth from the very first layer.

Watercolor Ground is available in six distinct colors, each offering its own creative advantage:

• Марс Блек – Creates a deep, dramatic surface that makes light colors glow and adds instant contrast
• Титановий білий – A bright, opaque white, perfect for traditional watercolor techniques on any surface
• Прозорий – Allows the natural surface to show through while adding a workable watercolor ground
• Баф Титан – A warm, neutral base ideal for landscapes, portraits, and soft, earthy palettes
• Райдужне золото – Adds a luminous, reflective quality that shines through transparent washes
• Перламутровий білий – Offers a subtle shimmer for soft highlights and atmospheric effects

From bold, high-contrast surfaces to soft neutrals and luminous finishes, these options allow you to fully customize your starting point and explore a wide range of effects.

Whether you are preparing a surface for a finished piece, exploring new textures, or reworking an existing painting, Watercolor Ground gives you the flexibility to work your way. It invites you to push boundaries, try new approaches, and discover what watercolor can do beyond paper.
