You know gesso. This is the jar for your next project.
Content: 100mlColour: White
What do you use it for?
Gesso is the first layer under your paint, ink or collage. It turns any surface into a good base.
Art journals: pages that don’t warp or soak through
Mixed media: layers of paint, ink, pastel and texture on top of each other
Scrapbook pages and cards: a clean, even background
Chipboard and wooden figures: paint that sticks and covers well
Canvas and your own small paintings: a sturdy base for your colour
Old papers and printed sheets: print and text disappear under your layer
Your own backgrounds: keep it white, or tint it with acrylic paint
Why this jar?
One jar, many surfaces: paper, cardboard, chipboard, wood and canvas
Works with many techniques: acrylic paint, ink, pastel, pencil and collage
Even, matte start: no more streaky results
Covers print and text: old colours vanish under your layer
Stronger paper: less curling and warping
Easy to use: with a brush, sponge or palette knife
Lasts a long time: one thin layer is enough, so your jar goes far
Gesso or regular acrylic paint?
White acrylic paint covers, but your paper stays weak and the paint sticks less well. Gesso makes your surface stronger and gives your paint grip. You will see it in your colours.
How to use it
Stir the jar well
Apply a thin layer
Let it dry 30 minutes
Want more coverage? Add a second layer
Paint, glue or draw on top
Tip: wash your brush with water right after use. Then it lasts.
