My go-to Gesso.

Opus essential is good value for the money. Its’s consistency allows me to use a foam roller to apply a flawless surface to my canvases and cradle panels.

Black gesso

Has worked well for covering old works, so the surface can be turned to a new purpose.

Smoother Gesso

I found my latest Gesso purchase much easier to apply and wondered if you had changed the product in any way?

Works well

Pretty smooth application but there were some lumps in the gesso, they smoothed out with some water but they left some spots are were much thicker.
