product description
QoR Cold Press Ground is a specialty watercolor ground designed to create a beautifully textured surface that closely resembles handmade cold press paper. Once dry, it forms a unique rough finish with natural-looking imperfections, providing deep nooks and crannies that hold watercolor pigment exceptionally well.

This ground allows artists to achieve expressive effects that are difficult or impossible on traditional watercolor paper, including enhanced granulation and interesting lifting techniques. It is ideal for artists who enjoy experimenting with texture and surface character in their watercolor work.

QoR Cold Press Ground can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces such as boards, panels, paper, and canvas, making it highly versatile. Application is best done using a palette knife. When applied with a dry palette knife, it produces a rough, handmade-paper-like texture. Adding a small amount of water to the palette knife and smoothing the wet surface reduces the roughness, creating a finish closer to standard cold press watercolor paper.

This medium is well suited for professional artists, mixed media artists, and watercolor painters who want to expand their creative possibilities beyond conventional paper surfaces.
