Prime canvases and mixed media surfaces for optimal paint adhesion

Media Gesso builds a toothy foundation that transforms slick or porous surfaces into workable grounds for mixed media. This artist-quality primer creates subtle texture that gives paint something to grip without overwhelming your work, essential when layering acrylics, inks, and collage elements on surfaces that would otherwise resist or absorb unevenly. Quick-drying formula lets you move through prep work efficiently, establishing responsive surfaces for immediate painting.

Opaque coverage in both white and black means you control your starting value from the ground up. White gesso brightens transparent layers above it and reflects light through thin washes, while black gesso creates dramatic underlayers that add depth to subsequent colors. The formula remains flexible after drying, preventing cracking when applied to canvas, wood panels, or paper surfaces that expand and contract. This flexibility proves particularly valuable on mixed media substrates where different materials respond differently to environmental changes.

Tubes work well for covering large surfaces or when you need substantial amounts for texture building. Smaller bottles provide convenient quantities for sample boards, art journal pages, or targeted surface preparation. Both formats deliver consistent performance whether you're priming a full canvas or preparing small sections for focused mixed media work.
