Excellent Gesso, with enough body and is creamy, with good coverage.

Rated by: Alexander W. in West Lafayette, IN

I use white gesso for base coats on customized model horses. It was recommended by the book I refer to and mixes very well with white acrylics to form a smooth coat.

Rated by: Gertrude Y. in New Canaan, CT

Nice consistency and easy to use.

Rated by: shirley d. in fairmont, WV

Use on a daily basis for journals and altered books. great product

Rated by: Sheileen G. in Redding, CA

This is the same brand the Art instructors purcase for class, and recomend for student use. If they think it is the best , then that's good enough for me!

Rated by: Grace B. in Palm Coast, FL

This is my favorite, all purpose, gesso. I use it on canvas, rock, slate, and on whatever else I need to give a base cover. It covers great. So easy to use.

Rated by: Peter S. in Boston, MA

Best choice for gesso!

Rated by: Jen S. in Norfolk, VA

I used this to prime surfaces for paintings in art school and haven't used anything but. It's the best I've found so far.

Rated by: Elba O. in SA, TX

This gesso is my favorite!! Spreading it over the canvas is such pleasure, and it mixes great with colored paints if you want to achieve a different look. MisterArt.com's service was excellent, too!

Rated by: Bill L. in Evansville, WI

I have used cheap gesso, and the paint does not behave the same on top. This gesso provides a better painting surface. Surprisingly, it makes a significant difference.

Rated by: Jon T. in Pierre, SD

I bought this as an experiment - looking for an alternative to Krylon or other canned primers. I thinned it about a 2:1 ratio with Liquitex airbrush medium, and primed miniatures using an airbrush. After practice to find the right technique, I found it provides a strong and durable cover yet shrunk to the minute details of the miniature without obscuring them. In another experiment, even after sanding, it provided a hard surface with ample "tooth". MisterArt again provided excellent service at rock-bottom prices!
