Art Spectrum Colourfix Papers are sheets of 300gsm acid-free watercolour paper professionally screened with Art Spectrum Pastel Primer . The natural toothy surface is ideal for pastels, pencil or charcoal as it will hold multiple overlays of colour without the need to fix between layers. The absence of fixative will allow the velvet bloom and vibrant colour of pastel to be preserved. Colourfix , with its 16 dense colours and fine deep tooth is a permanent coloured substrate for gouache, inks, oil paints and acrylics. Pastels and charcoal are easily erased while maintaining the receptive qualities of the Colourfix surface.
All colours are lightfast, permanent and non-toxic.
Pastel Primer can be applied with brushes, sponges, rollers etc, straight from the pot. 16 colours are available plus Clear Pastel Primer . All colours can be intermixed to create new shades. White or clear can be tinted with Liquid Spectrum Inks , Art Spectrum Gouache or even acrylics for new colour combinations. The Clear Pastel Primer allows the natural surface or underlying colours to remain visible while providing extra tooth for more colour overlays.
