Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground 4oz Jar, Titanium White, 284055002, 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

excellent daniel smith always good stuff. now how you use it..........hmmmm you gotta experiment . Might be exactly the look you want. i use arches watercolor paper and cotton canvas with Blick gesso usually.........and I have found multiple effects that please me. takes preparations to use.......drying time choice of surface. But it is a wonderful tool in the arsenal.

I saw this product being used on an art demo on UTUBE to seal watercolor postcards. It really works well at keeping your pictures waterproof, and is very easy to apply. It goes a long way so you don't have to use much for perfect results.

They say you can't fix a mistake when painting with watercolor. With this product however, it turns out you can! Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground allows you to paint white over existing watercolor paint. This essentially restores a white surface in the area you applied it allowing you to fix the mistake by repainting it. Just remember to let the Ground completely before you apply fresh paint. I try to avoid mistakes whenever I can but when the inevitable happens this product allows me to fix it.

Great to use on light surfaces, but it still dried white/light grey-ish on darker materials. I'll continue to buy though even with its limitations

Fast and easy way to make cheap coloring book paper accept traditional watercolor or Inktense with a wet brush. I wanted to use my play time to improve my beginner watercolor skills, instead of relying on colored pencils or markers. But even the books designed for watercolors were pilling and blotching under my heavy handed treatment. The DS transparent ground gives enough protection and a slightly toothy surface, plus allows more lifting, which has vastly improved my results. Very pleased! NB! I cheat on the application to make life easier (it’s play time, after all). Spritz about a teaspoon of water into a recycled mayo jar lid, soak a 1 1/2” flat taklon brush and use it to scoop a good dollop (3-4 tablespoons) of the ground into the lid. Using the brush, stir until the water is absorbed, scrape off the brush into the lid, and paint one thin layer onto as many pages as possible until you run out of ground. Spread them out to dry, wash the brush and lid, and have a cup of coffee. By the time the coffee is gone, something will be dry enough to paint on. Put the other pages away to cure for later, but I haven’t had any problems just diving in, as soon as everything’s dry to the touch. Obviously, this is not recommended to real art, but it works fine for casual play.

It does what it should.

It worked, dried clear and fast, i liked it.

Never disappoint with a David Smith product. It stands up to the name. Very satisfied

Buena compra.

I'd not used this before as I usually put watercolours behind glass. Since the project I'd done was textured I didnt want to cover it. It worked well. For the price it is only a very small pot but it did go a long way.

Llegó a tiempo, bien empacado y funciona según lo descrito.

Ich habe diesen Aquarell-Grund gekauft um damit Kunststoff zu behandeln und anschließend mit Aquarellfarben darauf zu malen. Die Masse ist relativ fest und lässt sich gut verarbeiten. Die Oberfläche bekommt je nach Auftrag dann eine schöne organische Struktur. Das Ergebnis ist genau wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Für vollständige Abdeckung brauchte ich zwei Schichten. Auf anderen Untergründen habe ich das Produkt bisher nicht getestet.

En väldigt bra produkt. Tänkte måla med den på tyg för att sen måla med akvarell ovanpå.
