Tri-Art Cold Press Watercolour Ground
Customers praised this watercolour ground for transforming various surfaces into watercolour substrates. Reviews highlight its versatility on wood panels and other materials, with one noting it "works like paper" even with minimal coverage. Shoppers appreciated the creative freedom it provides, calling it an "excellent resource."
It is a fun medium, I used it for one painting and it made a great effect.
Great to create with. Nifty use of materials!
Great Product, since I paint smooth canvases with little texture, I need a lot of open time to blend the paint and this retarder works great.
The best. Beautiful texture. Thanks Tri-Art
Order could not have been delivered quicker. Had some small cracks on first pour ( might not have cleaned fluid painting enough, poured a second coat and is fine. A lot easier than resin and not as hazardous. Will be using it more.
Love Tri Art!
I experimented on an old canvas that had previous dried other brand crackle and my texture mix, THIS TRI-ART POURABLE CRACKLE WORKED BEAUTIFULLY even on top of the old crackle but not the texture! It’s a smooth surface with deep crevices and has an eggshell shein when dry. And yes, the thicker the bigger cracks. I purposely made a few puddle areas to see what would happen and nothing but good things. I immediately bought another bottle cause I never want to run out of this. I prefer pouring and tilt with this right now rather than a knife, although a knife will give you more control of placement. Its consistency is like fluid paint used for pouring techniques. LOVE IT !
Just used fiber paste. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS in creating faux rough edge watercolor paper. Strong yet flexible. Smooth or peaked layers can be easily created. Use a silicone mat wherever you don’t want it to stick. I’ll be buying more when I run out 😁
We ordered the UV reactive polymer for our school, Phoenix Education Foundation in Calgary AB, and boy does it glow! I know the pictures will not come close to showing just how much it pops! Our classroom set design team tried it out in our Deep Space Theme and what fun! We really love how transparent it is until under the Black light. We cannot wait to use it with our transparent Tri-Art acrylics we also just bought!
I have just used this material to complete three pieces and I must say it is wonderful to work with and produces great results. Left natural it dries to a really nice dark, textures surface that is shinny and appealing and painted it created a very interesting surface. I would recommend this material to anyone who enjoys texture in their pieces.
Fantastic product. Exemplary results. Especially easy to use. Thanks TriArt
Nifty way to get texture on projects.
Really neat to work with. Paints well. Nifty. Nifty. Nifty.
I love this product! I tried it for the first time a few days ago and it exceeded my expectations. Also love that recycled materials are used.
I have so much fun with this product it is incredible as a top coat for my paintings.
The mediums are fine and consistently good over time. I also wanted to order D rings but it seems you only have the smaller eyelet hangers which are fine for small light weight pieces but not most other work. I have seen larger eyelet hangers but it seems any type of these necessities are hard to find.. The full D Ring is by far the better product; sometimes, but not always, Michaels has them but the price doubled a couple of months ago from $9.50 to $19.00 which is robbery.
I have been impressed with all Tri-Art Mediums. The Glazing Medium in Matte is ideal for coating papers to create more flexibility and leave a lovely finish. I highly recommend!
I have used several of the Tri-Art Mediums and I am impressed with the quality, durability and ease of handling. I use the final finish matte as a last layer when making paper lanterns and it works beautifully. An excellent product of superior quality at a reasonable price.
I love my Tri-Art stay wet pallete.
Excellent customer service and shipping
I am loving this glazing medium for my pieces. It covers well and leaves a beautiful sheen to my work. Excellent product!
My first time at using liquid glass. Quite thick, which is ok for small size artworks, but not easy to spread on large ones. Still, the end result is pretty impressive. Makes the colours very vibrant.
Goes on smoothly with a good finish. Love this product!
My favourite medium to use for glazes, pours, glossing, and blending. Dries fast in room temperature. Super glossy.
Dries beautifully clear. Thin consistency. Great gloss!
Description
When applied smoothly and evenly with a spreading tool, the finish and appearance is very much like cold press watercolour paper. The ground contains titanium dioxide for a clean, very white and reflective surface for colours. Watercolours may be more easily reworked than on standard watercolour paper. The surface will accept more water and scrubbing without surface lift. Masking fluid adheres and lifts easily with no tearing. The matte finish provides a tooth for all dry media to be applied.
Formulated with 100% acrylic emulsion to ensure that over time it will remain flexible, not flake, crack or crumble from the surface.
