About Golden Gels, Pastes and Paints

Many GOLDENGels, Pastes and Paints make great surfaces for dry and wet media such as pencil, pen & ink, pastels, markers, charcoal and watercolors.Golden has created specialized acrylic mediums as preparations or “grounds” for drawing, such asSilverpoint/Drawing Ground, Absorbent Ground or Acrylic Ground for Pastels.

Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of using an acrylic ground or medium to prepare a surface for drawing is the opportunity to move from paper to canvas, panels, walls and even non-traditional supports and surfaces.
