Matisse High Tooth Gesso provides a gritty surface for artists, perfect for encaustic art applications. The permanent, flexible, water-based ground provides a high level of tooth for your work, resulting in a gritty surface with more absorbency than a standard gesso will provide.
Artists will love working with Matisse High Tooth Gesso for encaustic work and pastel applications! Drying to a white, matte surface, the gesso ensures your colours hold in place and adhere well to your chosen surface, giving you creative freedom with your artworks. It is especially good for encaustic (hot-wax) painting as the high tooth and grittiness of the dried surface provides excellent adhesion that other acrylic gessos may not offer. Whatever techniques and methods you use for your encaustic artworks, Matisse High Tooth Gesso caters for all of them, assuring a stable surface for your work.
Matisse High Tooth Gesso can be applied to canvas, board, wooden panels, and paper straight from the container. Use a flat brush or roller to apply the gesso without diluting, applying at least 2 coats with 1-2 hours of drying time in between.
Clean up of this high tooth gesso is simple using just soap and warm water, so you can spend more time painting and less time cleaning up!
