Gessos & Grounds
Prepare and protect your canvases before starting a new work of art with sizing, gessos or grounds. These materials create a more paper-like surface that acts as a barrier to the canvas, allowing the radiance of the pigments to shine, rather than be absorbed into the canvas fibers. No matter your canvas preparation method of choice, we have you covered!
