Derivan Matisse MM10 Gesso

The Matisse MM10 Gesso is a flexible acrylic primer, which will tighten the canvas when dry, giving a taut ground on which to paint. Setting a strong white (or black) surface ground with excellent tooth for easy painting on, this water-based product can be thinned down for smooth application and layering.

Matisse gesso can be used to paint over old acrylic works to give the artist a like new surface to paint on. If more than one coat is desired, then it is advisable to sand lightly between coats to obtain a smooth finish. If applying to raw canvas/linen use equal parts of water is recommended and seal the surface before applying acrylic or oil paints.
