    Transform Any Surface into a Watercolor-Friendly Canvas

    This archival-quality watercolor ground allows artists to paint with watercolors on virtually any surface—including wood, canvas, metal, plastic, glass, fabric, plaster, and more. With just one application, it creates a soft, absorbent surface with a slightly cottony texture similar to cold press watercolor paper.

    Ideal for mixed media and experimental work, it also offers unique solutions like a titanium white option for covering mistakes or a transparent version to let underlying textures like wood grain or decorative paper show through. Once dry (within 24 hours), the surface is ready for watercolor techniques, including lifting, scrubbing, and layering—without damage or buckling.

    Key Features:
    • Archival, acid-free watercolor ground with excellent absorbency
    • Adheres to a wide variety of surfaces including non-traditional materials
    • Creates a surface similar to cold press paper
    • Available in various colors including white, tinted, and transparent options
    • Allows for lifting and scrubbing without damaging the painting
    • Enables framing without glass
    Perfect For:
    • Watercolor artists looking to expand beyond paper
    • Painting on wood, glass, metal, plastic, fabric, and more
    • Mixed media and surface experimentation
    • Correcting or reworking flawed watercolor paintings
    • Creating textured or transparent grounds for visual interest
    • Framing watercolor paintings without the need for glass
