Grounds Overview

The Purpose of a Painting Ground

  • Isolates the support
    Prevents oils, moisture, and acids from damaging the support and the paint film.

  • Controls absorbency
    Determines how paint adheres, sinks in, or remains luminous on the surface.

  • Affects handling and appearance
    Influences drag, edge control, color saturation, and working time.

  • Determines longevity
    A poorly prepared ground guarantees premature failure, regardless of skill or materials.
