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

This plastic tub contains 118ml (4 fl. oz.) of Daniel Smith Pearlescent White Watercolour Ground. The ground makes a white pearlescent paintable area 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 pearlescent sheen. Your transparent and semi-transparent watercolours will have a slight pearlescence effect when painted over the Pearlescent White Ground.

You can paint over an entire surface with the ground or only in areas that you wish to add pearlescent effects, perhaps using the other Daniel Smith Watercolour Grounds in the other areas if you are not applying it onto watercolour paper.
