Pastels Without Paper [Three Acrylic Surfaces]

Here are three toothy acrylic mixtures you can easily apply to panel or board to expand your pastel art whether you use PanPastel, stick pastel, or variety of pencils.

  1. Absorbent Ground on canvas board – feel free to tint this mixture with GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics
  2. Pastel Ground on clear acrylic sheet - we masked an area for nice clean edges (and a satisfying tape removal)
  3. Micaceous Iron Oxide – we love this self-leveling surface with a subtle metallic sheen
