Mont Marte Black Gesso Primer 500ml

Black Gesso adds dramatic contrast and interesting effects that regular white gesso cannot achieve.  Gesso provides a slightly toothed surface that allows oil and acrylic to adhere well to your painting support.

Mont Marte Black Gesso provides a flexible matt finish suitable for priming and sealing canvas, paper, board and other semi-porous surfaces to paint on with acrylics or oils.   Gesso provides a slightly toothed surface that allows oil and acrylic to adhere well to your painting support. For best results apply 2-3 thin coats of Black Gesso.

This water-based Universal Primer is superb for preparing surfaces for painting. Using Gesso on a pre-primed canvas gives your painting a smoother surface that allows paint to flow freely on with less soaking into the canvas weave. Gesso also reduces acidity levels of paper and wood, giving your painting longer life when using these supports.
