About the product
GOLDEN Absorbent Grounds
Create a porous, paper-like surface on many different substrates.
GOLDEN Absorbent Ground, designed for stain and watercolor-type applications, is light stable, permanent and flexible. While it has a gesso-like consistency, it is not intended as a gesso alternative.It must be applied over a porous and "toothy" surface, such as GOLDEN Gessoto ensure adequate adhesion due to the type and level of solids in the product.
Once properly sealed, it is a permanent acrylic film that does not need to be kept under glass, however, the surface is quite delicate and additional protection is recommended. A properly applied isolation coat and GOLDEN Varnishes (Polymer & MSA) will protect the artwork from environmental factors such as sunlight and dust.
How to Apply
Apply onto gessoed canvas, hardboard, wood or other surface with a brush, roller or squeegee. No thinning is necessary, although for increased leveling or ease of application, up to 25% water may be added.For best resultsapply Absorbent Ground over the regular Gesso in two coats - the first coat neat, then wait until fully dry (in 40-65% RH dry time is typically 8-12hrs). The second coat should be with some water (about 20%).
