It offers a drastically different way of working compared to modern conventional grounds such as acrylic gesso and is made from a whitish clay earth, exhibiting a relatively high quartz content and is bound in cold pressed linseed oil. Price per single 40 ml tube.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an absorbent ground that will tolerate a lot of punishment and is well suited for impasto and glazing - it’ll grab paint and won’t slip and slide as modern acrylic gessoes are prone to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest applied in a single layer over a glue size, using a blunt knife. It can be smoothed over for a fine surface or worked roughly and pairs exceptionally well with my Lead White Substitutes, where the tooth and grab of this ground lets the paint really shine.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWe have tested these grounds on a canvas with coats of acrylic size with no problem, oil colour imbues beautifully with these grounds and also dry quicker than on top of acrylic gessos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rabbet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57449940910415,"sku":"SQ4208366","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/rabbetartauction.co.uk\/products\/tom-robertson-quartz-ground-40ml","provider":"Rabbet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
