Create the ideal surface for acrylic and oil painting with this super-smooth matte gesso primer. It creates a suede-like, non-grainy finish and requires no sanding. Chalky Gesso fills in the divots and natural texture of canvas or wood to create a smooth, even surface. Oil and acrylic paint glides across the primed surface easily. Ideal for fine art and decorative painting projects.
Stir gently. Apply with a palette knife or texture tool and glide paint over the surface with long, continuous swipes. All-purpose. Water-based. Permanent. Lightfast.

TIPS FOR DECOART CHALKY GESSO
To minimize brush strokes, dampen your brush before painting and use light pressure when applying Chalky Gesso. Wipe off the brush after applying the last coat and softly brush the surface again with little to no pressure to soften any visible brush strokes.
