Daniel Smith watercolor ground is much better than gesso's and matte medium at handling lots of water and protects your paper from getting damaged from the water. It allows watercolors to be used in traditional ways to take advantage of their transparency and granulation, blending and flowing qualities which make watercolors special.

Review: Super easy way to seal watercolor art. - 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.
Review: Great base coat - I'm still learning how to paint, always learning. This transparent goes on first and I love the way it preps the paper. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how to explain what it does but it makes the paint from brush a bit smoother. And easier to correct any small mistakes or smudges, mostly if it's because it lifts a level of paint off the paper itself or what, I don't know. But great base coat.

## Features

- Absorbent or semi-absorbent surfaces (such as paper, canvas, other fabrics, Wood, plaster, shells and hardboard) require no special prep before brushing on Daniel Smith watercolor ground
- Apply straight from container using a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish, one coat will cover most surfaces
- Curing: to allow watercolor ground to attain the correct degree of absorption, let watercolor ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours
- Because it creates a surface more absorbent than paper, Daniel Smith works best in conjunction with lower-water paints, such as watercolors and thinned acrylics
- Finishing: as with all watercolors, your work on Daniel Smith watercolor ground will need to be fixed if it will not be Framed behind glass
