What it does

Natural sand particles add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel
Dries to a matte, 'beach sand' finish
Highly flexible and adhesive
Will not chip or crack on canvas
Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance - the thicker you apply the more opaque it becomes
Can be used on its own, mixed with color or overpainted once dry
When mixed with acrylic color, improves blending and gives oil-style stiffness
Provides an excellent textured ground or underpainting medium for acrylics, pastels and graphite - great for delicate marks and blending
Apply thickly to create bold 3D effects, or finely to give surface texture
Maintains color adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it

Apply with knife or brush
Can be thinned with a small amount of distilled water if required
Mix with different consistencies and ratios of acrylic color/medium to create custom texture
Start by adding very small amounts of color and build up as needed
Overpaint when dry with acrylic color
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to surface and leave to dry

Mix with Gloss Medium to create a textured glaze
