Artists' Acrylic Gessos are of the highest quality, which dry to give an excellent level of tooth and a balanced absorbency. Our range of gessos provides a flexible and stable ground for longer lasting paintings.
It is important to prepare your painting surface with a gesso primer as this ensures a stable and sealed surface, as well as adding tooth. It is also important to use a good quality primer for good quality colours as the longevity of the painting depends upon all its constituent parts.
These gessos may be applied to a clean, porous surface. Plastic surfaces will require abrading or sanding for 'tooth' and mechanical adhesion. Leather will need to be degreased (with methylated spirits/alcohol) and slightly abraded.
