Gesso & Grounds
Gesso can be thought of as the bridge between your support (canvas, board or whatever you paint on) and the paint. GOLDEN Gesso is designed to penetrate supports and provide a surface to which paint can adhere. Proper preparation with GOLDEN Gesso increases the life span of artwork. Our Gesso is formulated to be flexible and is highly pigmented for greater opacity.
Many GOLDEN Acrylic Mediums can make practically any surface ready for your favorite pencil, pastel, ink, or watercolors, see GOLDEN Mediums, Gels & Pastes.
