Prepare Your Canvas with ROSA Acrylic Gesso!
Get ready to transform your artistic process with ROSA Acrylic Gesso! The rich black color of this gesso not only saves you time but also creates an immediate backdrop for your future paintings. Thanks to its excellent adhesion, this acrylic gesso pairs perfectly with ROSA Studio’s synthetic sizing, as both are crafted from materials in the same chemical family.
One of the standout features of this gesso is its high elasticity, which means you won’t have to worry about cracks (provided the canvas is properly glued and tensioned). Its uniform consistency and durable finish ensure that your paint stays right where you apply it, without seeping through the canvas.
Choose the Right Size for Your Needs:
To help you gauge how much you’ll need, the label provides an approximate consumption guide.
You can use various application techniques based on 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, uniform surface. Feel free to adjust the consistency with water, and remember, your tools can be easily washed with water right after use!
How to Use ROSA Acrylic Gesso:
- Surface Preparation: Start by cleaning your surface thoroughly to remove any dust, grease, or dirt.
- Apply Adhesive: Before priming, use gelatin or synthetic glue on the canvas for better adhesion.
- Mix Well: Stir the gesso thoroughly before application to ensure an even texture.
- Apply Evenly: Use a wide brush or sponge to apply the primer. If additional layers are needed, wait for the previous layer to dry completely.
- Optimal Conditions: Use at temperatures above +5°C, and transport at -18°C. The gesso retains its properties even after thawing.
ROSA Acrylic Gesso has a proven track record, having been used for years in the manufacturing of ROSA hand-primed canvases. Based on our experience, we highly recommend it to anyone looking to create the perfect foundation for their artistic creations!
