Handy Art Student Acrylic 16 ounce, White Gesso, 1 Pound (Pack of 1)

Good coverage and good price!

Bueno toda sexbasara en el uso y el resultado del mismo.

This is a good general purpose gesso, but it is not heavy body like Golden. I imagine that’s why the cost is less. It is similar to Liquitex pourable gesso.

I don't know anything about professional art, but I do like to craft as a stress reliever. I use this to paint the primer on an art journal and it seems to get the job done pretty well. Thanks!

Never used it before but it def makes it easier to paint on canvas.

Nice opaque gesso

So I am new to craft painting. I researched how to better cover your work when it's a shiny surface or hard to get paint to stay without peeling. I was a little disappointed in this specific brand but I'm not sure if I even used it correctly. So I'll have to be fair and meet half way with 2.5 stars. I am going to play around with it over the weekend so I'll be able to hopefully give it a better rating. Everyone I watch swares by GESSO but they have never mentioned a specific brand name.

I have used High-Quality Name Brand Gesso on wood and many Paintable Materials for over 50 years...Due to the recent price phenomenon on artist material, I have up-out and got some of this student grade Gesso n it really works like the professional quality I am accustomed to.

I covered a wood art work and it appears to have worked well.

Travaux acryliques

This is the first time I have used Gesso since I usually paint with oils. However, using Gesso made painting acrylic easier. I am now tempted to venture out on a larger painting,

Most pigmented Gesso preparations dry quickly, especially if rolled on or applied with coarse natural bristles. Drying time is longer on overpaints, especially when textured. Sometimes Gesso dries in patches but most of the time it dries uniformly, within minutes. It's a good idea to wait at least a few hours before applying paint - saturates beneath the surface cling to humidity - and if there's a second application planned, waiting 24hrs is proof against pilling. If I'm working on a project involving top shelf paint, I wait 24hrs. If the canvas is a top shelf project involving newly stretched canvas, my prep rituals are positively anal; at least seven days will go by before I commit the first drop of illustrative pigment.I've adhered to these methods for decades so feel i can competently evaluate preps and mediums.This stuff is not good stuff. I think it's a lab experiment gone wrong. There's definitely a problem with the water content (the container I opened in early October held a liquid which didn't behave well. It loaded unevenly on my boar bristle brush, stutter ed over the canvas, depositing too thinly on up strokes and too thickly on the way down and dried on contact. I felt i could use it to plaster drywall. It's a nightmare to clean this stuff from brushes and the plastic and metal parts of roller kits. I used it for mockups and silly stuff though never again with a good brush 'cause it killed my boar, and never again with a roller because life is too short to spend it chiseling stucco from tools.I didn't suffer too long. It turned to plaster in under two months. I tried to repurpose it as impasto medium but it repelled paint. I'm not a sculptor but I love making a mess, so i added adhesives and talc to make clay. It made some nice clay which I shaped into a bust of Karl Marx, but it didn't stay a bust. As the moisture withdrew, Karl's features went the way of his brilliantly flawed ideology. As any student of socialism knows, first the ears crumble, then everything is reduced to rubble.i can't think of any task within the artistic sphere which might justify the acquisition of this not-quite Gesso stuff.
