GOLDEN Products:

Acrylic Ground for Pastels
Digital Ground Clear (Gloss)

Other Components:

Polyethylene plastic sheeting
Painter’s tape
Plain printer paper

Step 1. Lay a piece of polyethylene plastic on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of GOLDEN Acrylic Ground for Pastels onto the plastic with a palette knife to desired shape and size. Let dry.

Step 2. Using a brush, coat the skin with GOLDEN Digital Ground Clear (Gloss). Apply two coats in opposite directions, allowing each coat to thoroughly dry between applications.

Step 3. By carefully lifting a corner and pulling up, remove the GOLDEN Acrylic Ground for Pastels skin from the plastic. A razor blade can sometimes be helpful to lift the edge of the skin.

Step 4. In preparation for printing, secure the skin to a carrier (painter’s tape and plain printer paper work well). Put the secured skin into the printer’s paper path.

Step 5. Print desired digital artwork or photograph onto the skin through an ink-jet printer. Remove from the carrier and use as desired.
