Michael Harding Non Absorbent Primer

Has your oil painting gone dull overnight? Then you most likely used an acrylic primed surface. Michael Harding has specifically formulated a new primer to be non absorbent. This means artists will no longer be frustrated by the dullness of paint which has had the oil drawn out resulting in flat, muted looking paint surfaces. Although this product is non absorbing it will provide a strong bond to the layers of paint applied with just enough tooth so not to be greasy in feel. The result is oil paint colours that look as though you have just brushed them on to your canvas! Apply 2 coats. First coat may be applied 25% diluted with water to increase flow and coverage if required. Apply second coat once first coat is touch dry (approx.. 1 hour). This product may be applied to: linen, wood, MDF and other supports to produce a strong, flexible, permanent, highly pigmented white ground. Suitable for as a ground for both acrylic and oil paint.

• May even be applied over premade standard primed canvases to render them non absorbent!
• Do not apply over rabbit skin / hide glue or to unsound supports such as cardboard and flimsy supports!
• may be applied 25% diluted with water to increase flow and coverage if required
• Stops the dullness of paint which has had the oil drawn out
