Pastel Primers and Grounds

Art Spectrum Pastel and Multimedia Primer colors are permanent and non-toxic. They provide a fine, positive tooth to hold extra color on your work. Apply primer with a dampened brush, sponge, or roller, straight from the pot. Brushes wash out in water.

Apply this translucent acrylic ground to paper, board, or any surface you wish. It provides a rough, "gritty" tooth, making it perfect for use with pastel, graphite, chalk or charcoal, and for the preparation of canvas and other supports for pastels.
