In this video I am exploring the 4 different grounds to see how they are applied to the canvas and then how watercolour behaves on the surface especially wet in wet. I tested Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground, Golden Absorbent Ground, QOR Cold Pressed Ground and QOR Watercolour Ground.
My conclusion at the moment is that I don't think any of them behave like watercolour on paper and I still have some more experimenting to do on either different supports or with different materials such as watercolour canvas that you buy ready to go.
This video is for people who are looking to paint watercolours on canvas and want to understand how each ground interacts with watercolour. I think most of those grounds would be fine if you were doing detailed watercolours not huge watercolours on canvas wet in wet.
I will let you know how I go with other experiments.
Any questions let me know.
Cheers
Scott

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
