Art Spectrum - Colourfix Paper Rainbow Packs
Colourfix Paper Rainbow Packs
Layer pastels fearlessly on textured paper that never needs fixative
Standard pastel papers fill quickly and demand repeated fixative applications that dull your colors. Art Spectrum coats 300gsm smooth watercolor stock with acrylic primer formulated to grip pastel particles through multiple layers without fixative. Build dense passages, work back into dark areas, layer complementary colors, the surface holds everything you apply while maintaining color brilliance.
The primer's durability changes how you can work. Scrub out passages with stiff brushes, sand down areas for revision, even soak sections for watercolor underpainting. The paper withstands aggressive techniques that would destroy conventional pastel surfaces. This resilience matters when you're problem-solving mid-composition or pushing toward a specific effect that requires repeated reworking.
Each rainbow pack provides ten pre-toned sheets that eliminate the tedious work of establishing colored grounds. Warm Tones range from sand and terracotta through olive green and aubergine, earth colors that support landscape and figurative work. Cool Tones span white through storm blue and deep ultra, ideal for atmospheric effects and contemporary subjects. Starting on colored paper establishes mood immediately and lets you work both lighter and darker from a mid-tone base. The primer accepts charcoal, conte, and other dry media equally well, making these packs versatile foundations for mixed media exploration.
