Matisse Pastel Primer is a transparent gesso that has been specifically formulated to be mixed with the Matisse Background Colours to give a coloured primer with extra "tooth" for painting and especially as a pastel primer. Mix 1 part Pastel Primer with 2 parts Matisse Background Colour (up to equal parts), stir well; the resultant mixture will give a brilliant surface on paper, board or canvas with which to accept and hold pastels including oil pastels.
If working on canvas, Matisse Transparent Gesso will tighten the canvas, making a firmer ground to paint on.
