This primer is a white, lightweight paste that spreads like "frosting". It can be applied smoothly in a thin layer, or built up to create texture. Use it on a variety of surfaces including canvas, wood, and paper. The extremely absorbent surface of Light Dimensional Ground makes it possible to create large surfaces quickly, but also ensures the small details.Drip a bit of color onto a dampened area, and watch the color spread into a beautiful flower.
