CLEAR PASTEL PRIMER – Invisible Tooth, Maximum Grip
This primer is a high-performance, transparent ground specially formulated to prepare surfaces for pastel, charcoal, graphite, and other dry media. It will not compromise the natural look of your support. Whether you’re working on paper, board, canvas, or wood, this clear primer adds just the right amount of texture. Also allowing your pastels to adhere beautifully while keeping your surface’s original colour or design fully visible.
Unlike traditional opaque primers, IT dries to a transparent, matte finish, making it perfect for artists who want to maintain a coloured or patterned background. It provides a fine, toothy texture that grips pastel layers effortlessly. But also allowing for rich pigment application, subtle shading, and multiple layers without flaking or smudging.
This water-based primer is easy to apply with a brush, roller, or sponge and can be thinned slightly with water for a smoother finish. It dries quickly and cleans up easily with soap and water, making it a convenient and mess-free option for studio or classroom use. You can apply it directly onto surfaces or over gessoed layers for added versatility.
This Primer is suitable for both professional and student artists, offering archival-quality performance that helps preserve the vibrancy and longevity of your pastel artworks. It’s ideal for use with soft pastels, hard pastels, pastel pencils, and other dry media.
Unleash your creativity without limits—ZELLEN Clear Pastel Primer gives you the invisible foundation you need for stunning results in every stroke.
