Elevate Your Painting Experience with ROSA Acrylic Gesso!
ROSA Acrylic Gesso is your ultimate companion for preparing the perfect canvas. The rich black color not only saves you time but also sets an ideal background for your upcoming artistic creations. With its exceptional adhesion, this acrylic gesso works seamlessly with ROSA Studio's synthetic sizing, as both products share similar materials in their chemical structure.
One of the best features of this gesso is its remarkable elasticity, which prevents cracks from forming—just be sure to apply it to properly glued and tensioned surfaces. Its uniform consistency and durable film ensure that paint stays on the canvas and doesn’t seep through, allowing for a smooth and flawless finish.
Choose the Right Size for Your Needs:
To help you plan, the label indicates the approximate coverage of the gesso, making it easier to estimate how much you’ll need.
You can use various application techniques to achieve different results. When applied in thin layers, ROSA Studio Acrylic Gesso maintains the natural texture of the canvas. For a smoother, more uniform surface, opt for thicker layers. You can adjust the consistency with water as needed, and cleanup is a breeze—just wash your tools with water right after use.
How to Use ROSA Acrylic Gesso:
- Prepare the Surface: Start by cleaning your canvas thoroughly to remove any dust, grease, or dirt.
- Apply Adhesive: Before priming, use gelatin or synthetic glue on the canvas to enhance adhesion.
- Stir Well: Make sure to stir the gesso thoroughly before application.
- Apply Evenly: Spread the primer evenly across the surface. If you need additional layers, wait until the previous layer is completely dry before applying the next.
- Optimal Conditions: Use the gesso at temperatures above +5°C and transport it at -18°C. The primer retains its qualities even after thawing.
ROSA Acrylic Gesso has proven its worth over time, being a staple in the production of ROSA hand-primed canvases for years. Based on our experience, we highly recommend it for anyone looking to create their own perfect painting grounds.
