Just the right consistency for so many projects.

Great company, great product!

This gesso I great to work with, covers well, and allows versatility in my art

Product work so well. First time I try this product and si satisfied

This is the first Gesso Ive used, so I cant compare it to other brands. I used this on an adult coloring book to prepare the paper for wet mediums. I painted it on a few test pages and let it dry (didnt take long but I live in a warm climate). The page feels rough, almost like a sand paper feel, it definitely added tooth to the paper. It also slightly changed the color of the paper, its a little more off-white now. I tested the following mediums on top of the clear Gesso: Prismacolor color pencils: Worked really well. Was able to apply a lot of water and blend. I could even go in after the watercolor was dry with more water and re-work it. Was able to use lots of water without destroying the non-watercolor paper. Koi Watercolors: Same as the watercolor pencils, as far as how it behaved. Several types of colored pencils: Didnt work well, Im not a fan of using pencils over the Gesso. The lines were rougher and hard to blend and control. They created a lot of colored dust too so that could stain the picture if you arent careful. Sticklers: Able to apply where needed, no issues. Acrylic paint (Americana): Was able to use acrylic without water, and also with water as more of a wash. Iridescent Medium: Mixed with watercolor, made the applied color very shimmery. Didnt give any issues over the Gesso. Art Masking Fluid: Worked fine on top of the Gesso. Still protected the paper from the watercolor, and when I pulled it off I could still feel the Gesso on the paper underneath.

Works great on Worbla! A few coats required but thats obvious.

This product did what I wanted from it.
