Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground for Any Surface Use

Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground transforms almost any surface into a watercolor-ready canvas. Artists can apply watercolor to wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, glass, and stone, breaking free from traditional paper limitations.
This ground creates a soft, absorbent texture similar to cold-press watercolor paper, preserving the transparency and fluidity that watercolorists love. It maintains archival quality, remains acid-free, and delivers vibrant results through its rich pigmentation. Available in six colors—Titanium White, Buff Titanium, Mars Black, Iridescent Gold, Pearlescent White, and Transparent—it offers a range of creative possibilities.
Artists rely on this product to rescue flawed paintings by covering mistakes and providing a fresh start. Its durable surface withstands scrubbing and lifting techniques, offering flexibility for different watercolor approaches.
Applying the ground takes only a few simple steps. A brush spreads it evenly across a surface, and after curing for 24 hours, it becomes a sturdy, absorbent base for watercolor applications. It supports mixed-media work, allowing seamless integration with acrylics, ink, and collage elements.
Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground opens new creative possibilities, expanding the boundaries of traditional watercolour techniques. Whether you seek innovation or a versatile painting surface, this product provides the perfect solution.
