Black Gesso is a ready-to-use formulations for painting on most surfaces. It is flexible and can be applied in thin layers to conform to a variety of textures without cracking. For oil painting, we recommended that at least three layers of gesso. Gesso can be mixed with acrylic colours to produce a range of coloured grounds.
Gesso can be thought of as the bridge between your support (canvas, board or whatever you paint on) and the paint. GOLDEN Gesso is designed to penetrate supports and provide a surface to which paint can adhere. Proper preparation with GOLDEN Gesso increases the life span of artwork. Our Gesso is formulated to be flexible and is highly pigmented for greater opacity.
