For watercolor ground, I used Transparent and Titanium white: [ Ссылка ]
Gesso (Liquitex Clear gesso is a must-have IMHO!) [ Ссылка ]
Watercolor brushes: [ Ссылка ]
Other: Book pages, scrapbook papers, 1" flat brush for applying gesso, Q-tip
The bottom line is the Liquitex clear gesso worked better than the transparent watercolor ground in my opinion plus is a wonderful surface prep for pastels and colored pencils making it a versatile art product. As for white, the Daniel Smith Titiniam white watercolor ground was better as a base for watercolor so I would recommend that if you want to do a lot of priming non-pourous surfaces for watercolor or if you like the idea of a watercolor paper correction fluid. For occasional use gesso is fine just not as absorbent which is to be expected since it is not designed for use with watercolor.
This is not an in-depth look at all gesso or grounds, if you have tried others please let me know your results in the comments!
In conclusion, i recommend the Daniel Smooth Titanium white watercolor ground AND the Liquitex clear gesso.
