Get Ready to Paint with ROSA Acrylic Gesso!
ROSA Acrylic Gesso in a rich black color is your go-to primer for creating an ideal background for your future paintings. This gesso saves you time and effort by providing a solid foundation right from the start. Thanks to its impressive adhesion properties, it bonds perfectly with ROSA Studio's synthetic sizing, as both the primer and sizing share the same chemical composition.
One of the standout features of this gesso is its high elasticity. You won’t have to worry about cracks forming (provided the canvas is properly glued and tensioned). Its consistent texture and durable film also ensure that your paint stays right where you want it—on the surface of the canvas without seeping through.

You can experiment with different application techniques to achieve your desired result. When applied in thin layers, ROSA Studio Acrylic Gesso preserves the natural texture of the canvas, while thicker layers create a smooth and uniform surface. Adjust the consistency with water as needed, and don’t worry—your tools can be easily cleaned with water right after use.
How to Use ROSA Acrylic Gesso:
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and dirt. Before priming, apply a layer of gelatin or synthetic glue to the canvas. Stir the gesso well before use. Apply the primer evenly. If you need additional layers, make sure the previous layer is completely dry before proceeding. Use the gesso at temperatures above +5°C. Transport it at temperatures below -18°C. The primer retains its properties even after thawing.
ROSA Acrylic Gesso has stood the test of time and has been used in crafting ROSA hand-primed canvases for years. Based on our extensive experience, we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to create their own painting grounds.
