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.
Customer Reviews
Affordable, effective, low oder. Am pleased to continue using this product
Great product, good value deal
Worked well to cover a redo
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.
I use gesso for white
