What it does
- Tiny hollow ceramic spheres add structure and texture to this 100% acrylic polymer gel
- Dries to a light gray matte stucco finish

- Gives an opaque/semi-opaque appearance - the thicker you apply, the more opaque it becomes
- Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or overpainted once dry
- Provides an excellent absorbent ground for acrylics, pastels and graphite - for glazing, washes and drawing on
