May be applied to paper before painting or between washes. * Watercolor Ground (237 ml) - Watercolor Ground is an acrylic primer that creates a porous surface similar to hot press paper on many different materials, including canvas and panels. It dries to an absorbent, lightfast and flexible surface that can endure repeated lifting and scrubbing. Allows for a full range of watercolor techniques, including wash and staining effects. It can also be brushed on to return stained areas to an absorbent white surface. * Light Dimensional Ground (237 ml) - Light Dimensional Ground is a white, lightweight paste that can be spread like frosting. It can be applied smooth and thinly, or built up to create ridges, peaks and other interesting textures. The extremely absorbent surface of Light Dimensional Ground allows color washes to spread quickly, yet allows the artist to create fine lines and detail as well. Dropping color into lightly wetted areas can create beautiful blooms. Creativity & Control The concept of QoR Watercolors does not end with colors. Like every product that comes from GOLDEN, the idea of equipping artists to realize their creative vision inspires our products. QoR Mediums help extend and enhance the creative range and control of watercolors, whether the objective is modulating colors through lifting with Lift Aidâ„¢, extending colors to their most distant point with Watercolor Medium, or unleashing the flow of colors with Synthetic Ox Gall.
