Opus essential gesso

Affordable, effective, low oder. Am pleased to continue using this product

Gets lumpy

On the plus side, it's white, provides some tooth and absorbency. But, after I first used it, subsequent uses (separated by a couple of weeks) always had lumpy surface skins in it. Maybe this happens with all gesso. One solution is to strain the gesso through a filter before use, a preferable solution would be improved packaging -a tube, so that the air can be removed before storage.

One of the best for my purposes

I like just about everything about Opus gessoes. That's why I always go back to Opus when I need more. The spread and coverage are exactly what I need.
