It used to be that watercolor painters had few options beyond white paper or a few colored boards. This Pearlescent White ground allows you to turn almost any surface into a luminous white 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 Pearlescent White Watercolor Ground. The ground makes a white pearlescent paintable area when applied to a white surface, and because it is semi-transparent, it allows the color and/or pattern of the surface it is applied onto to show slightly through the pearlescent sheen. Your transparent and semi-transparent watercolors 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 Watercolor Grounds in the other areas if you are not applying it onto watercolor paper.
