Making your own watercolour ground is easy, and preparing your own canvases for watercolour is simple. But I got to wondering, would my recipe work with transparent gesso and modelling paste? If it did, you could work on wood panels and have the grain of the wood show through. You could work on pages or a book, or sheets of music. So I set about finding clear modelling paste and transparent gesso, to see if it worked as well as the Daniel Smith transparent or the Schmincke version.

This film takes you through the experiment and then I show you how to prepare a wood panel to accept watercolour. I use ink and watercolour to paint a robin and show you the results. I am delighted to say it worked really well.
