Harvest - Rough primer Test -Acrylic
I have described this as a priming experiment using Gerstaecker coarse modelling paste, glorying in the wonderfully descriptive name 'Spachtelmasse grob'. This product, with typical German thoroughness, did exactly what it said it would do.
I have taken the liberty of doing this quick acrylic painting for your delectation. I have to say that for my average production, I found it slightly coarse but it has awakened my creative juices a little and I intend to do more using this paste as a primer. It will, of course, be perfectly good as a base for oil painting too.
As a precaution, I ordered from Gerstaecker at the same time, a tub of fine modelling paste, with which I have primed a number of small panels. These look extremely promising although I have not tried them out yet.
