Amsterdam gesso helps you create the perfect base for your artwork on almost any surface. It provides an absorbent surface once dry, making it the perfect base for not only acrylic paints but also oil paints. Gesso can be diluted with water and applied in thin layers or in one thick layer to create more texture.
This clear gesso can be used to create the perfect background for your work. Mix it with your favorite acrylic paint and the color will remain virtually the same as in the tube, but with the added benefits of gesso. Clear gesso can also be used on its own to incorporate the surface you are working on into your artwork.
