Golden Artist Colors® Gesso

Gesso can be thought of as the bridge between your support (canvas, board or whatever you paint on) and the paint. GOLDEN Gesso is designed to penetrate supports and provide a surface to which paint can adhere. Proper preparation with GOLDEN Gesso increases the life span of artwork. Golden Gesso is formulated to be flexible and is highly pigmented for greater opacity.

For Best Use:

- Stir before use; some settling is expected. Gesso is ready to use; can be thinned with water up to 25%

- Appropriate on canvas, panel and various acrylic-receptive surfaces

- Can be brush, trowel, or spray-applied (rolling may produce foam)

- Allow 1 -3 hours between applications, depending upon environment

- Gesso can be modified with most GOLDEN Gels & Mediums to increase flexibility, lower tooth and absorbency

- Thin applications are recommended, thick single-applications may crack. Thin applications can conform to a variety of textures without cracking

- For indoor use only

- Always test before your application for best results
