Review on 🎨 Sargent Art 16oz Gesso: Premium White Surface Primer for Professional Artists by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Emergency Buy

Reviewed after some use. I find this gesso thick, not thin or runny. It dries matt and is very porous and absorbent. My oil colors absorb instantly and I cannot repeat or alter them. Also, the oil paint peels off when I try to repaint an area that I'm letting dry. I'm not sure why this formula looks like chalk or plaster. But that's not what I've used in the past. First review: Sure, sure, who do you think will buy plaster of paris in an emergency? OK I know. I needed this for a painting very quickly and this product came quickly and came with a pretty good gesso. It has good coverage and leaves no streaks on the finish. I would buy it again. And delivered quickly to your door. No trips to the mall art store or the big retailer that sells a bottle half the size.
