Golden Pastel Ground — Create the Perfect Surface for Pastels and More
Golden Pastel Ground is an acrylic-based medium specially formulated to transform a wide variety of surfaces into textured, pastel-ready grounds. It creates a rough, gritty "tooth" that mimics the feel of traditional pastel paper, allowing for excellent adhesion of dry media such as pastels, charcoal, and graphite. Whether you're working on paper, canvas, or wood, this ground provides a stable, absorbent surface that helps prevent smudging and enables fine detail work.
Highly versatile, Golden Pastel Ground can be tinted with Golden Acrylic Paints to create custom-colored grounds and can be blended with other Golden mediums, like Pumice Gels, to adjust the texture for specific applications. It's ideal for artists who want to expand their pastel techniques across different surfaces or prepare their own custom pastel supports.
