Makr Gesso, 250ml

Gesso is a flexible acrylic ground with a high grit content which provides "tooth" on which to paint. It is not water absorbent and does not suck the moisture out of your paint when you start to work on it. "Grounds" are products used to prepare a surface for acrylic and/or oil painting. Good preparation will not only ensure good paint adhesion, but will prove more economical as less paint will be absorbed into the surface. Although acrylics can be applied directly to a surface without first applying a ground, the acrylic binder from the paint is absorbed too quickly into the surface being worked on. The result is a drab and disappointing painting, with a disagreeably fast drying speed. Content: 250ml.
