Improves Surface Adhesion

This clear gesso provides a textured surface that helps paints and drawing materials adhere better, making it ideal for preparing surfaces before painting or layering mixed media techniques.

Transparent Ground for Layered Artwork

Unlike traditional white gesso, the clear formulation allows artists to seal drawings while keeping pencil, charcoal, or ink marks visible for further painting and glazing work.

Suitable Surfaces

Compatible with most porous surfaces including:

• Canvas
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Painting boards
• Wood
• Air-dry clay
• Plaster

Suitable Media Types

Works well with:

• Acrylic paints
• Oil paints
• Enamel paints
• Pastels
• Graphite
• Charcoal
• Coloured pencils

Airbrush Compatibility

For airbrush application, simply dilute the gesso with acrylic thinner until it reaches a milk-like consistency before use.

Application Instructions

Apply evenly using a wide brush onto the chosen surface. Once dry, the textured layer provides excellent adhesion for paints and drawing materials. Clean tools with warm soapy water while wet.

Ideal Uses

Perfect for:

• Priming painting surfaces
• Mixed media preparation
• Sealing drawings before washes
• Creating textured painting grounds
• Tinting surfaces with coloured acrylic gesso mixes
