Amsterdam gesso helps you create the perfect base for your artwork on virtually any surface. It provides you with an absorbent surface after drying, which makes it the perfect base for not only acrylic paint, but for oil paint as well. Gesso can be thinned with water and applied either in thin layers or one thick layer to create more texture.
This black gesso can be used to create the perfect background for your work. Mix it with your favourite acrylic colour to create intense dark colours or use it on its own for a sleek matt black base.
Provides excellent adhesion for acrylic and oil paints
Suitable for absorbent surfaces that are free of dust and grease, such as canvas (linen, cotton, etc.), wood, plywood, cardboard and paper
Suitable as primer for murals on (alkaline) surfaces such as concrete, stucco and brick

I bought this brush some time ago based on a recommendation from someone— can't remember who though. I then forgot about it until I received a request to write a review from The Southbank Art Company. I've now tried it, and I've found it to be a lovely brush to use. It lays down the paint beautifully. It also holds a lot of paint enabling continued use without having to return to the palette so often. The point of the brush is good too, giving a lovely narrow lines where necessary.
I'll continue to use this brush, and will probably look at buying other sizes too.

Great experience. The staff were really kind, you can tell they genuinely care about creativity and the people walking in the door. It made the whole experience feel that much more personal. My order came to less than it would have cost from Winsor & Newton directly, which made it possible to get everything I needed without compromising on quality. Great selection, thoughtful service, and a warm atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
