Susan Ogilvie Pastel Primer Recipe: Prime the surface (paper, hardboard or Gatorfoam) with acrylic gesso. Dilute Golden Fine Pumice Gel with water (up to 20%) making the pumice gel more fluid and to get the pumice particles to float to the surface and provide texture when applied. Add some powdered pumice to the mix when the gel is diluted, it should be the consistency of thick house paint. Fluid acrylic paint can be added to the mixture to add color. Brush or roll on to the panel.
Susan's favorite technique is to squirt fluid acrylic on the gesso surface and move it around with a brush until the surface is covered. When this is dry she brushes on the Gel Mixture that will dry semi-transparent. Another coat can be added to increase the texture.

Spectrum is super-concentrated acrylic ink with extremely heavy pigmentation, compatible with and great for tinting the Art Spectrum primer. An ink rather than paint, it is well suited for use on sanded pastel papers: covers exceptionally well, dries quick, waterproof when dry and does not fill in the sanded surface! All colors are non-toxic, intermixable and fully lightfast. Liquid Spectrum inks are very thin and can be applied with brush, roller, airbrush or pen. Bottles have a non-spill stopper for easy dispensing and measuring for mixing the ink. An extender is available to make a mixture more transparent without weakening the ink film. The cleaner is used to remove dried ink from tools and also works to remove ink from the artwork, even after the color has dried - like having an eraser for paint! Each bottle has a unique piece of cool artwork.
