GOLDEN Absorbent Ground, Absorbent Acrylic Ground, 237 ml
GOLDEN Absorbent Ground is an acrylic ground for artists working with acrylics. Once dry, it creates an absorbent, paper-matte surface similar to watercolor paper. It lets you use watercolor, ink, and other water-based techniques on canvas, wood, and other rigid surfaces. The dried surface absorbs water-based media, so you can easily blend, layer, and lift the paint, while providing archival quality and better adhesion between layers.
