Golden Acrylic Gesso - 8 oz Jar

Q: I'm a beginner of acetic painting. Can anyone explain me what's this for? Thank you!!

Golden Gessos are ready-to-use liquid grounds formulated for the use of acrylics on any commonly used painting surface. They are flexible and can be applied in thin layers to conform to a variety of textured surfaces without cracking. Gesso provides a "tooth" to the support that promotes the adhesion of the paint system.Modify Golden Gesso by mixing it with a variety of mediums. Spray it, or apply it with brush, roller, or trowel. At least three layers of gesso are needed for oil painting over acrylic gesso.

Q: Wanting to gesso over previous paintings for a clean start. What kind of canvas coverage can I expect from a single container?

you can gesso over acrylics and water medias NOT oils. that said one coat on an average size canvas 30 x 30 will take about 1/4 of a jar and give you a pretty good start. to go white with no shadows 2 coats or more might be necessary. gesso is very opaque goes a long way and good for prepping even the "pre gessod' canvases. gives a nice finish that i prefer and paint moves easier over a cost of gesso you apply, than the way the canvas comes from the store

Q: Can this be used on wood?

Yes, prepare first, clean, sand

Q: Is the white, opaque gesso?

Yes, this is white and completely opaque. Golden does not make a 'clear' gesso (but the do make a Black Gesso).
