About this item
- 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.

Excellent coverage and ‘tooth’.

and it was way too rough - will eat my paste;s - even though I'm now trying to sand down the canvases...it's not working very well.
It creates a hatchmark pattern with the gesso under the pastel. I think the other reviewer is right it's not enough pumice to create an even surface so the gesso is creating streaks.
Cheaper to just by pumice and add it to paint or to gesso and do it myself or try the liquitex method.
