GOLDEN Gesso White Acrylic Gesso Primer
GOLDEN Gesso is a white acrylic primer for artists to prepare surfaces for acrylic paints, oil paints, and other mediums. It creates an opaque, slightly absorbent, durable surface with a fine texture that provides excellent paint adhesion. Once dry, it is water-resistant, archival quality, and reliably evens out the absorbency of the underlying material.
