## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I apply this ground on regular paper and used it in my printer**
A: You could, I guess, the colors will be very muted, I expect.  There is a medium for exactly that purpose called Digital Ground.  You brush it on your paper, let dry, and run through ink jet printer.

**Q: Can it be used on watercolor paper?**
A: Transparent Watercolor Ground is meant to create a surface that replicates a watercolor paper surface, so there is no purpose in using it on watercolor paper. However, if you wish to paint watercolor on canvas, the watercolor ground will work well.

**Q: is this like using gesso with acrylics to cover mistakes? Can it cover mistakes you make on your watercolors and allow you to paint over it?**
A: Yes it is a type of gesso and yes, it does cover mistakes, however, unless you use several coats, it is a bit transparent.  I used it to paint out a lake (that looked really bad) and replace it with a meadow.  It worked quite well.  I would try and lift your watercolor first, then use this product.  The little jar goes a long way too.  Pretty cool product for watercolor artists.

**Q: Can this be used to somehow repair a pea-sized hole in Arches 140 cold pressed paper?**
A: Watercolor ground may not form a self sustainable layer matching with such high quality gsm paper. I can suggest that you can paste a small piece of paper from back of the hole and then fill it up with this ground from main side. Quality is fantastic. When applying the ground atleast two coats are necessary on the entire paper, in vertical and horizontal direction.
