An easy way to make real gesso. This is not an acrylic "gesso" mix. It's the real thing: hide glue and whiting (chalk). But Rublev has made it real easy: Mix equal amounts of warm water and the Easy Gesso powder, wait a few hours for it to gel and then warm it until it is liquid enough to apply with a brush. Can also be applied cold as a soft gelatinous mass similar in consistency to tofu. The difference between real gesso and acrylic "gesso" or primers is silky soft surface that is absorbent to water-based paints.

Contains medium ground calcite (chalk) and rabbit skin glue.
