“Acrylic Panel Gesso” is unlike any other acrylic gesso.
Art Boards™
Panel Gesso has a classic traditional quality like no other
modern acrylic gesso. It is specifically designed for use on
rigid surfaces, not for flexible stretched canvas. Its
balance is carefully formulated to have more refined dry
solids and less acrylic polymers. This perfect balance
produces a smooth gesso surface that you can feel, one that
allows for true interaction with the initial painting. It is
not another non-absorbent acrylic gesso that paints just sit
on. It performs like an oil primer or traditional gesso.
When dry, the gesso is easily sandable and readily
absorbent, creating a surface that is receptive and
responsive with a warm and brilliant color. Gesso can be
easily tinted if a darker colored painting ground is
preferred.
The "triple-cream" consistency allows for an easy time
covering surfaces.
Art Boards™
Panel Gesso is high in refined solids with a “triple-cream
consistency”. It spreads out quickly and evenly in thick or
thin coats, giving complete coverage in a single
application. The white gesso covers easily without leaving
obstructive brush marks or having to rework areas. It
will also smooth out perfectly when applied with a knife, or
hold a desired texture if brushed & cross brushed. The gesso
needs no thinning, but when mixed with water or paint
disperses quickly and evenly. It dries fast without leaving
air bubbles or producing cracks, and it is the best sanding
artist gesso ever.
For artists who
work close to the surface painting and drawing.
With oil paints it performs like an oil
primer or traditional gesso. There is no beading when using
water base materials and it takes watercolor as if it were
paper. It also mixes well with casein paints. Pastels,
charcoal, and pencil work and rework beautifully into the
gesso surface. It is the perfect ground for all painting and
drawing materials including; oils, acrylics, egg tempera,
casein, gouache, watercolor, encaustics, pastels,
charcoal, colored pencil, silverpoint, pen & ink,
airbrush, and more.
Art Boards™ Panel
Gesso performs superbly on all rigid surfaces.
Art
Boards™ is dedicated to making the
highest quality panel gesso for use on our complete line of
archival painting supports. The artist gesso performs
superbly on all rigid surfaces including wood panels,
mounted raw and pre-primed canvas, and mounted drawing and

when laid down on paper leaving the original texture of the
paper.
