Write a reviewI had accidentally taken off a section of the top layer of my watercolour paper and thought I had ruined my painting. However, although it isn't its original purpose, this watercolour ground is very good at 'filling in' and patching up such mistakes!
If, like me, you like to use acrylics in more of a watercolour style, I would certainly give this a try. An excellent product which provides a slight tooth to a ground. I have tried it on canvasses and found it suited my style perfectly - you can also layer the paint on quite thickly if desired. It gives a nice translucence to the support. Although I wouldn't say it was exactly like working on paper - I love it. I will certainly be purchasing more.
To paint on a glass with watercolor, this is beyond the imagination.
