    This iridescent gold acrylic gesso by Daniel Smith provides a lustrous metallic ground for oil and acrylic artists. It will enliven the transparent and semi-transparent colours which are painted over it, and will show through gaps between brushstrokes. It is vibrant, lightfast and archival.This product is made with Mica and iron oxide particles. Please remember that the Mica particles in this ground are heavy, and will sink to the bottom of the pot over time. It is therefore a great idea to mix the gesso with a palette knife before use, just to get the Mica back in suspension.

    Golden Acrylic Ground for Pastels is a 100% acrylic medium designed to prepare surfaces for the application of pastels, charcoal and other art media where a coarse tooth is desired. It contains finely ground sand (silica) in a pure acrylic emulsion. Acrylic Ground for Pastels can be applied to paper, canvas, wood or any primed support. This allows almost limitless applications for media typically confined to standard papers. ThinningDue to the weight of the solids in Acrylic Ground for Pastels, it is produced very thick, and does not come ready to brush-apply. Thin 20-40% with water to desired consistency. ApplicationApply with brush, paint-roller, spray equipment, squeegee or palette knife.Mix up only as much as is needed for one day's work, as the solids will settle rapidly and be extremely difficult to mix back into suspension.

    Jackson's Gesso Primer is excellent for use on a range of surfaces, including canvas, wood, or board. It can be used as a ground for oil paints, acrylics, or mixed-media work.

    Gesso is used to ensure artworks remain stable, permanent, and long-lasting. It is made from acrylic resin, with a high pigment strength to provide the best coverage. Typically used straight from the tub, it can be applied with a flat priming brush or roller.

    Two or three coats of gesso is advised for best results. Jackson's Gesso dries to a flexible film with a slight tooth. It can also be sanded to produce a smooth, silky finish.

    We recommended leaving the surface to dry for at least 2 hours before applying a second coat. The surface will be ready-to-use in approx. 24 hours.
