Description
This is a description of a set of acrylic gesso panels made in Italy that are suitable for a wide variety of techniques. The panels are handmade and have a smooth surface. The wooden base is poplar multi-ply which is stable and lightfast. The panels are absorbent, but may not be absorbent enough for use with egg tempera which usually needs genuine gesso. If the surface isn't absorbent enough the egg tempera paint may lift off the first layer when you apply a second glaze.
Gesso panels made in Italy suitable for a wide variety of techniques thanks to the high absorbancy of the surface. They are handmade and finished with a smooth surface. The 7mm thick wooden base is poplar multi-ply which is stable and lightfast.
Made with acrylic gesso these ultra-smooth boards are very absorbent and you may wish to use extra oil in your oil paint. But, they may not be absorbent enough for use with egg tempera which usually needs genuine gesso (homemade with rabbit skin glue and whiting). If the surface isn't absorbent enough the egg tempera paint may lift off the first layer when you apply a second glaze.
