It requires no surface prep, cures in 24 hours, and offers customizable texture finishes. Perfect for artists seeking to expand watercolor beyond traditional paper, it enhances paint absorption and flow while protecting substrates from water damage. ## Description For too long, the beautiful medium of watercolor has been confined to a paper-behind-glass niche. Now, with this exciting new ground, anything you've dreamed of painting with watercolor can become a reality. It's easy to use-just brush it on-and incredibly versatile. Daniel Smith watercolor ground is much better than gesso's and matte medium at handling lots of water and protects your paper from getting damaged from the water. It allows watercolors to be used in traditional ways to take advantage of their transparency and granulation, blending and flowing qualities which make watercolors special. Review: Buena compra. - Buena compra. Review: Used on cheap watercolour paper - Accidentally bought watercolour paper which was not 100% cotton. It was difficult trying to paint on it, the smallest amount of water would buckle the paper. Applied watercolour ground on it with a broad soft brush, left it to dry overnight and paper became more usable. Colours spread as it should and was easier to lift. Paper was too stiff to buckle. A little of the paste goes a long way. ## Features - Absorbent or semi-absorbent surfaces (such as paper, canvas, other fabrics, Wood, plaster, shells and hardboard) require no special prep before brushing on Daniel Smith watercolor ground - Apply straight from container using a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish, one coat will cover most surfaces - Curing: to allow watercolor ground to attain the correct degree of absorption, let watercolor ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours - Because it creates a surface more absorbent than paper, Daniel Smith works best in conjunction with lower-water paints, such as watercolors and thinned acrylics - Finishing: as with all watercolors, your work on Daniel Smith watercolor ground will need to be fixed if it will not be Framed behind glass ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009ONLVT8 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,648 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #541 in Art Paints | | Brand | DANIEL SMITH | | Brand Name | DANIEL SMITH | | Color | Titanium White | | Color Code | #FFFFE0 | | Colour | Titanium White | | Container Type | Jar | | Coverage | 6.2 - 12.4 square feet/gallon or 1.85 - 3.7 square meters/liter | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 796 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 24 | | Finish Type | Eggshell | | Finish type | Eggshell | | Full Cure Time | 24 Hours | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00743162030880 | | Included Components | Brush, Paper | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | 4oz Jar, Titanium White, 284055002 | | Item Weight | 136 g | | Manufacturer | Daniel Smith | | Model Name | Watercolor Ground, | | Model Number | 284055002 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Part Number | 284055002 | | Size | 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Tintable | | Special features | Tintable | | Specific Uses For Product | Arts and crafts projects, creating a painting surface on various substrates | | Surface Recommendation | Fabric, Paper | | UPC | 743162030880 | | Unit Count | 4.0 Fluid Ounces | | Unit count | 4.0 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DANIEL SMITH - **Colour:** Titanium White - **Finish type:** Eggshell - **Size:** 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Special features:** Tintable ## Images ![DANIEL SMITH DS W/C GROUND 4OZ TITAMIUM WHT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O2NiPmkPL.jpg) ![DANIEL SMITH DS W/C GROUND 4OZ TITAMIUM WHT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uytet6hjL.jpg) ![DANIEL SMITH DS W/C GROUND 4OZ TITAMIUM WHT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UjFZt1jqL.jpg) ![DANIEL SMITH DS W/C GROUND 4OZ TITAMIUM WHT - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21b+Q42Cq8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I apply this ground on regular paper and used it in my printer** A: You could, I guess, the colors will be very muted, I expect. There is a medium for exactly that purpose called Digital Ground. You brush it on your paper, let dry, and run through ink jet printer. **Q: Can it be used on watercolor paper?** A: Transparent Watercolor Ground is meant to create a surface that replicates a watercolor paper surface, so there is no purpose in using it on watercolor paper. However, if you wish to paint watercolor on canvas, the watercolor ground will work well. **Q: is this like using gesso with acrylics to cover mistakes? Can it cover mistakes you make on your watercolors and allow you to paint over it?** A: Yes it is a type of gesso and yes, it does cover mistakes, however, unless you use several coats, it is a bit transparent. I used it to paint out a lake (that looked really bad) and replace it with a meadow. It worked quite well. I would try and lift your watercolor first, then use this product. The little jar goes a long way too. Pretty cool product for watercolor artists. **Q: Can this be used to somehow repair a pea-sized hole in Arches 140 cold pressed paper?** A: Watercolor ground may not form a self sustainable layer matching with such high quality gsm paper. I can suggest that you can paste a small piece of paper from back of the hole and then fill it up with this ground from main side. Quality is fantastic. When applying the ground atleast two coats are necessary on the entire paper, in vertical and horizontal direction. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buena compra. *by I***A on 31 October 2025* Buena compra. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used on cheap watercolour paper *by P***E on 15 August 2024* Accidentally bought watercolour paper which was not 100% cotton.

Il tempo di asciugatura e molto veloce, ma per sicurezza se il tempo è freddo e umido aspetto almeno 12 ore prima di colorare sopra. ## Frequently Bought Together - Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground 4oz Jar, Titanium White, 284055002, 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground 4oz Jar, Iridescent Gold, 284055012, 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - DANIEL SMITH 284600010 Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Burnt Sienna, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/258728787-daniel-smith-ds-w-c-ground-4oz-titamium-wht](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/258728787-daniel-smith-ds-w-c-ground-4oz-titamium-wht) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
