• Universal Primer for Dark Backgrounds: This gesso is perfect for preparing a wide range of surfaces, including canvas, wood, MDF, paper, cardboard, plaster, and even air-drying clay. It creates a receptive, dark base for various painting mediums.
• Enhances Paint Vibrancy & Depth: A black gesso provides a striking contrast that makes light and bright colors appear more intense and luminous. It’s exceptional for creating deep shadows, dramatic highlights, and a rich, saturated look for your paints. Metallics, neons, and iridescent paints truly sing on a black ground.
• Provides a Smooth Base: While creating a tooth for paint adhesion, gesso also helps to fill the weave of canvas or minor imperfections on other surfaces, providing a smoother, more consistent painting ground.
• Protects Your Artwork: It acts as a barrier between your paint and the substrate, protecting the canvas or wood from the oils in oil paint (which can cause deterioration over time) and preventing discoloration from the underlying surface.
• Fast Drying & Opaque: This gesso is fast-drying, allowing you to apply multiple coats and start painting sooner. Its high pigmentation provides excellent, solid black coverage, easily masking underlying colors or patterns.
• Versatile Uses: Beyond priming, black gesso can also be used to:
  • Add Texture: Apply with a brush or palette knife in thicker layers to create interesting textures on your surface.
  • Underpainting: Use as a dark underpainting to block in shadows or create a specific mood before applying lighter colors.
  • Unique Mixed Media: Fantastic for creating moody or high-contrast mixed media pieces.
