About Watercolour Ground

Watercolour paints have been around since the 1500s, but only recently has their usage expanded. Nowadays, you can find them in any art store, and they are easy to use.

What is a Watercolour Ground?

Watercolour paints are  generally  used on traditional watercolour paper with different textures.  They absorb into the watercolour paper.  Matisse Watercolour Ground allows you to  create that same  absorbency  & feel of paper on pretty well any substrate that a normal acrylic would adhere to.
So you can use watercolour techniques like washes, lifting off, and layering on unique substrates. 

 

Tips for using Watercolour Ground on different surfaces:

Before applying a watercolour ground, it is essential to ensure that the surface you are working on is clean and dry. When working on a surface with rough areas, use fine sand paper to sand these areas first.You can choose between using a soft hair brush for a smooth finish or using a foam roller for an even texture. Or, if you want an even more textured look, then use hog hair (a coarse natural fibre) as it will leave behind some tiny brush marks which provide this textured effect while also creating unique patterns.

Apply Watercolour Ground to Wooden Panels: 

Use one of the Derivan Painting Panel. First, you will need to sand it lightly; this will help adhesion. Apply the Watercolour Ground even and thin with a soft brush to the board. Don't forget the sides!
