First white (primer) coat that does not yellow, with a matte finish, opaque, ready to prepare supports (canvas, wood, paper, cardboard, brick, cement, stone, among others) for all techniques (oil, acrylic, acrylic paint, vinyls, among others). It is applied directly undiluted onto the support. Clean tools with water. Do not add water to the same container if diluting; mix separately. NON-TOXIC.What is gesso used for?
Gesso is a very good material for preparing our painting supports and should be used mainly for two reasons. The first is to protect the support and the second is to improve the adhesion of the paint to the support. That is, if, for example, we want to paint with oil on a raw canvas, we can apply a layer of gesso before applying the oil. This layer of gesso, which is actually several layers, has two main functions: the first is to protect the fabric from the oil. You know that oil is made with oil, so if that oil is absorbed by the fabric, it will eventually rot. And, on the other hand, it serves to preserve the properties of the oil. Since, if we apply the oil directly to the raw fabric, as we have said, the fabric will absorb the oil. Thus, the oil suffers an alteration in the oil/pigment ratio, which harms the oxidation or drying process of the paint. And therefore, there is a very high chance of it cracking or falling off in pieces. So gesso is a primer that can be applied to various supports such as wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, or a wall. And it serves to protect and improve the connection between the support and the medium to be used.Leave us your comment to know your opinion
