All About That Gesso!

 

We are back with another Art Basics post featuring GESSOS this time! Finnabair has three different, AMAZING gesso options in her line: clear, white, and black. Now let's explore what each gesso is, which one to pick, and how to use them!

 

White Gesso: white gesso is one of the top go-to art mediums. It has so many uses that is is difficult to list them all:

 

• use as a matte primer on almost any surface-as it provides "tooth" for other mediums to stick to, as well a neutral-colored surface.
• use as a matte white paint with multiple coats.
• fortify a surface that may be fragile for wet application: paper, chipboard, etc.
• mix with mica powder, Art Alchemy paint, etc., to create a colored, chalkboard-like paint.
• mix with art stones to create your own matte, texture medium
• thin with water to create white splatters

Inspiration truly is all around us! Of course we are a bit biased and think Prima products make everything more beautiful...so we asked our team members to pick a favorite product to focus on. Paulina, Vero, and Jaya all created stunning projects with one, two, or a few more of their favorite products  just for you today!
