Matisse Watercolour Ground 250ml
Watercolour paints have been around since the 1500s, but only recently has their usage expanded. Nowadays, you can find them in any art store, and they are easy to use. Traditionally used on watercolour paper, but with the newly released Matisse Watercolour Ground 250ml, they now can be applied to any surface, including canvas, wood board, mixed media paper, and more! Matisse Watercolour Ground also known as Matisse Absorbent Primer, makes it possible to create beautiful watercolour paintings on virtually any surface that you choose!
What is a Watercolour Ground?
Watercolour paints are generally used on traditional watercolour paper with different textures. They absorb into the watercolour paper. Matisse Watercolour Ground allows you to create that same absorbency & feel of paper on pretty well any substrate that a normal acrylic would adhere to.
So you can use watercolour techniques like washes, lifting off, and layering on unique substrates.
Tips for using Watercolour Ground on different surfaces:
Before applying a watercolour ground, it is essential to ensure that the surface you are working on is clean and dry. When working on a surface with rough areas, use fine sand paper to sand these areas first.You can choose between using a soft hair brush for a smooth finish or using a foam roller for an even texture. Or, if you want an even more textured look, then use hog hair (a coarse natural fibre) as it will leave behind some tiny brush marks which provide this textured effect while also creating unique patterns.
Apply Watercolour Ground to canvas:
Matisse Watercolour Ground is a new, innovative way to work with watercolour paint on canvas. The ground will absorb the colour right in! This eliminates all of the difficulties that were typically involved with traditional gessos and lets you create exciting new art pieces!
You’ll need a canvas to paint on; you can apply one coat of gesso first and after the gesso has dried, use two thin coats of Matisse Watercolour Ground to create an absorbent surface. Make sure you leave 24 hours in between each layer.
