Name: Art Spectrum Pastel and Multimedia Primer
Brand: Art Spectrum
Rating: 4.7 (46 reviews)

Art Spectrum Pastel and Multimedia Primer colors are permanent and non-toxic. They're the same primers used on Colourfix Papers, also available from Blick.   Art Spectrum Pastel and Multimedia Primer provides a fine, positive tooth to hold extra color on your work (and less on the floor). Apply the primer with a dampened brush, sponge, or roller, straight from the pot. Brushes wash out in water.   These quick drying acrylic primers bond solidly to almost any clean paper, canvas, card, plastic, glass, ceramic, or even metal. All colors can be intermixed to create new shades. White can be tinted with acrylics, Liquid Spectrum Inks, or Art Spectrum Gouache.   Available in 16 colors, in 250&nbsp;ml (8&nbsp;oz) plastic pots. Clear is also available in a 1&nbsp;L (34&nbsp;oz) size.

Art Spectrum Colourfix Original Coated Pastel Paper - Cool Tones 10 Pack of 9" x 12" Sheets, shown in fan


It's called &quot;Colourfix&quot; because this very permanent, lightfast coated paper withstands all manner of artistic experimentation. Art Spectrum Colourfix Original Coated Pastel Paper has a medium toothy surface that will hold multiple layers of pastel, charcoal, or chalk without needing fixative between the layers. The absence of fixative allows the velvet bloom and vibrant color of pastel to be preserved. 

The unique, surface is produced by screen printing Art Spectrum Colourfix Primer onto a heavy weight Hot Press watercolor paper. The 140 lb (300 gsm), acid-free surface will also withstand sanding, scrubbing, soaking, and being reworked. These papers are used successfully in practically all media&nbsp;&mdash; pastels, charcoal, pencil, oils, acrylic, gouache, inks, silverpoint, and even watercolor.
