So the watercolor ground on yupo makes it a bit more like traditional watercolor paper?

We need to start a portrait thread to discuss technique, and compare notes!
Thanks. Yes the ground is for priming surfaces like wood or even yupo to receive watercolor. I only tried a diy mixture which was just baking soda mixed with gesso and it made the yupo behave more like traditional cotton paper but not quite as good. The ground they sell in the art supply stores is probably better.
