    Perfect. Just what I expected. Super Heavy body white gesso. I am a professional artist and always prep my canvas with this before painting. I also use it occasionally to thinker my paint. I also use a board as my pallet. When it’s covered in paint lay a covering of white gesso and it’s good to go again. Liquid gesso is too thin and I need several coats to get the desired result so this is my go to gesso.

    If you are wanting some clear gesso to prep a canvas or watercolor paper for paint or pastels this will work. You can do a sketch under it and then paint over it. It has a gritty surface for your pastels. Watercolor paper actually feels like fine grit sandpaper after it dries. If you want it even more gritty you can mix in extra marble dust.

    Thinner than other products I use and some what more chalky when dry. Good color strenth.

    Wife heard about this product from an art colleague and decided to give it a try. Shed been using the white gesso for years. Said this is a wonderful product but the surface area coverage isnt as good as the white gesso by same company, so you may have to add more gesso to the surface if you want a nice black. Also, she noticed it has a bit more grit than the white and subdues colors, whereas the white tends to make the colors pop more. That being said, shes really been enjoying the contrast to her artwork this gesso brings.
