A foundation of Watercolor Ground gives virtually any surface a new texture similar to cold-press watercolor paper. You can achieve the same distinctive, transparent qualities of watercolor on wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, glass, stone, plaster and more.

This color is semi-transparent, so the original surface color and/or pattern will slightly show through the sheen. Apply 2 to 3 thin coats for a deeper shine. Add a glaze of color when painting on top with transparent and semi-transparent watercolors. This ground also works well for adding special pearlescent effects to specific areas you want to highlight. 

• When applied with 2mm thickness:  one 4 oz jar covers approximately 7 square feet.
• Example:  A sheet of 22”x30” watercolor paper is 4.5 square feet, so a 4oz jar of should cover 2 sheets
