Have used watercolour ground from De Serres on canvas to paint watercolour. Their stuff is not as smooth as that produced by Daniel Smith and is good to paint rocks etc. Pre-treated surface is less receptive to watercolour and glazing has to be applied when one layer is fully dry, otherwise the colour will spread outside the boundary you want it to remain.
Having experimented painting on watercolour grounded canvas and watercolour grounded panels, I prefer the latter. It is easier to apply the ground onto panel as it is flatter and can carry the ground more evenly. (My Welcome Spring painting of tulips was done that way). All in all, I still prefer painting on paper wrapped around canvas (see my Living Water #2 painting)
