It used to be that watercolour painters had few options beyond white paper or a few coloured boards. This Iridescent Gold ground allows you to turn almost any surface into a Gold surface suitable for watercolor painting, as well as collage, pastels, pencils and mixed media work.

This plastic tub contains 118ml (4 fl. oz.) of Daniel Smith Iridescent Gold Watercolour Ground. The ground makes a luminous gold absorbant ground when applied to a white surface, and because it is semi-transparent, it allows the colour and/or pattern of the surface it is applied onto to show slightly through the iridescent gold sheen. For deepest gold, apply 2 to 3 thin coats of the Iridescent Gold Watercolor Ground. Your transparent and semi-transparent watercolors will add a glaze of colour when painted over the Iridescent Gold Ground, modifying their colour.
