MONT MARTE Premium Gesso Universal Primer 1.89L (64oz), Suitable for Acrylic Paint, Oil Paint, Colour Pencils, Pastels, Graphite and Charcoal

It's taken me a while to understand how to use this (for my purposes). I've been experimenting using black gesso as a background for oil painting portraits. If you give your canvas at least 2 coats and allow 2-3 days for it to fully dry it is excellent. Do a test for your pigments to find out which ones work best on this background for your subject. I really like the effects you can produce

Bought this to experiment with. New to acrylics, I thought I'd try painting on a black canvas panel. It covers well and dries quickly and although my art work was less than impressive this was not the fault of the product! I'm still experimenting but would recommend this gesso.

Great product works well and can mix other acrylics into it to give a different colour canvas.

Good

Used to prime wood (ply) for acrylic painting gave a great surface to work on definitely purchase again

Love this gresso.. covers canvas very well.

Having made a small canvass-stretched painting frame for a painting with a black background, we choose this Mont Marte Gesso for tightening the canvas and for the background. Two layers were applied with this water-based substance. It nicely tightened the canvass. Slight rubbing down with P1500 grit wet and drysmoothed it somewhat but I would say it is not essential.

Gesso had leaked into packaging and was returned
