About the product

GOLDEN White Gessoes

GOLDEN acrylic gesso is formulated with an acrylic polymer emulsion, yielding a sandable film with excellent flexibility and chemical, water and UV resistance. It offers a good tooth for adhesion of subsequent paint layers. This professional grade, contemporary gesso is available in white or black. For use as a ground for oil painting, a minimum of 3-4 coats is recommended.

This white gesso is praised as "a great product" that customers use for prepping surfaces and mixing with acrylic paints. Shoppers appreciate its smooth application, requiring "way less coats" than other brands, and its consistent quality without separation. While it applies smoothly and easily, some note it's "not very good for making texture." Praised for reliability despite higher cost.

  • Way less coats required than other brands
  • Always a great product
  • Useful when mixing with fluid acrylic paint as well as for prepping wood panels

The items arrived quickly and were well packed. I was concerned when it arrived because the box was damaged, but nothing was damaged inside because they had used a large box and provided a lot of pacing paper around the frame, paint and gesso

I have found Golden white gesso to be useful when mixing with fluid acrylic paint as well as for prepping my wood panels prior to painting.

Constantly Constant

I have used Golden’s Gesso for some 30 years. I find it constantly constant :) I like the body of the gesso and the fact that it doesn’t separate if it has been sitting for a while. I also like how easily it brushes or rolls on to canvas or board or even paper, allowing for a smooth finish that doesn’t interrupt the brush strokes intended for the piece that I am working on. It is more expensive than some but worth the extra cost in my opinion.
