Transform any surface into an absorbent canvas for watercolors
Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground transforms rigid surfaces into receptive painting substrates. Brush this acrylic-based ground onto wood, canvas, metal, or glass, and it cures overnight into a surface with the soft, absorbent quality of sized watercolor paper. The coating holds pigments properly, allowing colors to settle and bloom rather than bead up or slide off non-porous materials.
The transparent version preserves what lies beneath, wood grain stays visible, decorative papers show through, fabric patterns remain intact. You're enhancing existing textures rather than obscuring them. Titanium White, Buff Titanium, and Mars Black grounds provide opaque, one-coat coverage when you want to start with a solid foundation. Each heavily pigmented formula eliminates whatever surface you're working over, creating a clean slate for subsequent washes.
Application works across nearly everything: stretched canvas, wooden panels, ceramic tiles, even rocks and shells. The ground adheres to surfaces that normally reject watercolor entirely, opening up three-dimensional objects and unconventional supports. Mixed media artists use this to combine watercolor's transparency with sculptural forms, while traditional painters appreciate the option to work on prepared canvas or board when paper isn't practical.
