About the product
- GOLDEN Pastel Ground is a 100% acrylic medium designed to prepare surfaces for the application of pastels, charcoal and other art media where a coarse tooth is desired. It contains finely ground sand (silica) in a pure acrylic emulsion.
- Pastel Ground can be applied to paper, canvas, wood or any primed support. This allows almost limitless applications for media typically confined to standard papers.
- Pastel Ground can be used as a toothy, gritty ground for many different media, including dry media (soft pastels, graphite pencils, etc.), water-based media (water-soluable pastels, colored pencils, etc.), and oil-based media (oil pastels, oil sticks, etc.).
- Thinning: Due to the weight of the solids in Pastel Ground, it is produced very thick, and does not come ready to brush-apply. Thin 20-40% with water to desired consistency.
- Pastel Ground can be blended with GOLDEN Acrylic Paints to achieve colored grounds. However, add minimal amounts of color since all additions of paint to Ground will decrease the tooth.
