Traditional Gesso

Read more Read less

Traditional gesso allows you to prepare rigid surfaces for painting. It is made from a mixture of hide glue and chalk, known as whiting.

This inflexible ground is ideal for panels and boards, supporting techniques such as oil painting, encaustic, egg tempera, silverpoint, and mixed media. It creates a soft, absorbent surface that you can sand or burnish to a smooth finish. Shop traditional gesso, casein gesso, and rabbit skin glue from brands including Cornelissen, Roberson, and Sinopia.
