Amsterdam Black Gesso

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
