Love this Gesso Clear by Art Basics from Prima. It is not gritty. I do bible art journaling, so I work on very thin paper. I am able to apply 2 coats of this product on my paper and have amazing results. This is my go to clear gesso when working with very thin paper!
I am new to Bible journaling and after watching, some great people on YouTube, I learned this item is wonderful for prepping your Bible pages to prevent bleeding through to the back of the page. I didn't want a huge jar of this, and this is just the right size. It works well and is worth the price. I would recommend it to everyone.
I purchased this gesso for my Bible art. The previous brand I had used was too gritty. Prima's gesso is silky smooth, drys fast and takes only a little to do the job. I'm having a ball using it. I can't believe I waited so long to switch to Prima Art Basics clear gesso.
Purchased for Bible journaling. Little to no bleed through. Pencil erases. Dries quickly. Have used colored pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolors and Copic markers. All did very well.
Every project needs this! I'd score it higher if I could! I always prime with this (paper- not just canvas). I even used it on wooden Ikea chairs I wanted to paint a different colour- was the perfect primer for that project too!
I love this gesso because it doesn't have the rough texture of so many brands. This dries smooth, but still has plenty of "tooth" to grip your acrylic paint. My new favorite brand!
I love this clear gesso. It's the best one out of several that I have tried! I just wish they sold it in a bigger size because I use it a lot. Love it!
Great product for preparing journaling pages. Prevents bleeds.
The service from scrapbook.com was excellent!!
This is a good quality gesso that is worth the price. Nice and thick it covers nicely and has a great base.
I use this in my journaling Bible to prep my pages for other mediums and absolutely love the smooth texture when it's dry. I've used other products and they leave my pages kind of gritty, which I'm not a fan of. I can't recommend this product enough, love it!

How is Gesso work?

Gesso adds tooth (grip) to your paper so your mists and paints will sit on top of the paper rather than sinking in. This gives you more control as you can blot up any mistakes. I like using clear gesso to coat my pages before adding media so I know I won't spoil a background I've spent lots of time on.
