Description

Opus Essential Gesso is an artist-quality gesso, perfect for preparing unprimed surfaces such as canvas, linen, wood and paper. This heavy-bodied, bright white gesso has maximum opacity, adhesion, and water-resistance, and dries to a non-yellowing, flexible matte finish. Opus Essential Gesso contains high levels of titanium dioxide, calcite grit, and acrylic resin. Apply 2–4 coats as desired.

Nauseating

Smells like house oil paint from the 90s. Made me nauseous. Seems like latex more than polymer. Dries on the container similarly to watercolour masking fluid. Hoping it works well as a base for my oil paintings and nothing will flake off.

Black Gesso

Love this product! Creates nice texture for an under painting I can scratch into. Thanks

good coverage but bubbly

covers well but bubbly result was frustratiny

decent

i find this gesso so-so. it does good for coverage, but has a lot more bubbles than other brands, lot of time running brush back over to remove bubbles in each coat
