Our own exclusive artists' grade gesso offers good opacity, tooth, adhesion, and water-resistance at an economical Blick price. Apply it to raw canvas, wood, hardboard, paper, and other porous surfaces as an excellent preparatory ground for oil or acrylic painting. The 100% pure acrylic polymer formula has a rich, smooth viscosity that is easy to spread and covers in one to two coats. White Gesso features a high percentage of titanium dioxide that assures a brilliant white, non-yellowing ground. It may be tinted to any shade you desire using acrylic colors. Black Gesso provides an excellent ground for artwork with deep color palettes. Non-toxic and lead free, Blick Artists' Acrylic Gesso dries to a flat, flexible film and cleans up with soap and water.
