Daniel Smith 4 Oz Transparent W/C Ground

product, delivery and service

Too expensive. Not worth. Doesnt work as well as a normal watercolour paper.

I would have given minus 5 star rating to the company who is selling this product.Sadly there is no such option available.The product itself is excellent no issues with it .For a month the Amazon customer care kept telling different stories starting from me not being at home to the package getting misplaced to it breaking and again getting misplaced...Very poor performance by the seller and the delivery agent.Atleast honest answers should be provided.

I love it 😍😍😍😍I did a test on a cave and it works but I whod recamend that you leave it to sit for at least 24 hours in less you pout 2 cots the 2 day will be good .Very happy

This is kind of fun. It's not totally transparent with two coats but works fine depending on the surface. Have tried this on Wood and Canvas. On Wood, with two coats the result is close to a lower cost type of Watercolor paper and not too bad! On canvas it works with two coats but the normal blending of pigment you would experience isn't really like watercolor paper, its more of a bleeding effect. I think this is because the water in the paint is trying to get into the fabric fibers below in the canvas like a batik effect and I'm not sure a 3rd coat would help. The dry time after painting is pretty extensive. If you plan on sealing any surface with any kind of varnish you better hit it with some kind of spray fixative first and let it dry a long time because the pigments will bleed otherwise (I've been using Daniel Smith paint that technically should not be releasing or bleeding at all). There's a bit of a learning curve but on the upside if you wet an area with paint, the paint will stay where you wet it like watercolor paper. It holds a wet line but really does not act like 140 lb cotton paper on canvas. I'm going to try it on porcelain next!

Makes texture for trees look great for water color

This is good to use to treat light card stock for watercolor paints. The only downside is that it takes a while to dry and settle.

I have ordered this before but from another source I think. This item came quickly and works well with my artwork (a new budding artist). Would recommend.
