Printed on 300gsm hot press watercolor paper and with its 20 dense, lightfast colours and fine deep tooth, Colourfix is a superb substrate for acrylics, inks, silverpoint, oil pastels, gouache, watercolours and dry media such as soft pastels, charcoal and pencils.
The natural toothy surface will hold multiple layers of pastel without the need for fixative, allowing the velvet bloom and vibrant color of the pastel to be preserved. Erasing is also easy with Colourfix - simply lift off excess pastels with clear adhesive tape, brush off with a dampened or dry brush, or use a pencil eraser. Alternatively, errors can be overpainted or areas touched up with the matching colour of Art Spectrum Colourfix Primer. The tough, toothy surface can be sanded, scrubbed, soaked and reworked repeatedly.
