### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic quality gesso that preps a surface with a bit of toothiness for the paint layers
*by R***. on December 5, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!
*by E***T on June 18, 2025*

Great for the price and beginners. Arrived in perfect condition. Thick, great paint quality and works terrific. The consistency is great and I wont buy any other gesso. Very easy to apply and dries fast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality, great coverage!
*by M***S on November 25, 2024*

Flawless product. This works incredibly well! The value is great, the coverage is great, the texture is smooth, and the color is a solid, true white. I used this to cover a mass market print on a very large canvas. The print had lots of dark lines and colors, but even with that, this gesso covered the entire print perfectly in two coats. I'm extremely satisfied with this product and will absolutely buy again when I need more, but this will last quite a while because I still have a ton left over after two coats on a 3'x5' canvas!! The handle is such a nice touch for carrying, and the lid closes tightly and securely. 10/10, highly recommend.
