Gesso (100gm)

Gesso is an essential primer used by artists, hobbyists, and craft enthusiasts to prepare surfaces before painting, resin pouring, or mixed media work. This 100gm pack of white gesso from Shrebhavi gives you a smooth, slightly absorbent base coat that helps paints and pigments adhere better and look more vibrant on any surface.

Whether you are priming a canvas, wooden panel, MDF board, or even a resin piece for acrylic detailing, this gesso dries to a matte white finish that is ready to accept acrylics, oils, watercolours, and alcohol inks. It is water-based, easy to apply with a brush or palette knife, and sands down smoothly for a professional-looking surface.

• Versatile primer: Works on canvas, wood, MDF, cardboard, clay, and more — ideal for painting and mixed media projects
• Improves paint adhesion: Creates a slightly textured, absorbent surface so acrylics, oils, and inks grip evenly without beading
• Bright white base: Opaque matte finish enhances colour vibrancy and prevents dark surfaces from dulling your artwork
• Water-based formula: Easy to thin with water, clean up with soap, and layer multiple coats for a smoother or more textured finish
• Quick drying: Dries fast between coats so you can start painting sooner without long wait times
• Compact 100gm pack: Perfect for small projects, trying gesso for the first time, or keeping a handy supply at your workstation
• Compatible with resin art: Use as a base coat on wooden or MDF surfaces before resin pouring to seal the surface and prevent bubbles

How to Use

Stir well before use. Apply a thin, even coat using a flat brush or palette knife on your prepared surface. Allow to dry completely (15–30 minutes depending on thickness and humidity). Sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper if a smoother surface is needed. Apply 2–3 coats for best results. Thin with a small amount of water if a more fluid consistency is required.

Safety Tips

Gesso is water-based and non-toxic for general craft use, but avoid ingestion and keep away from children without adult supervision. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
