Encaustic Ground (Gesso)
Tax included.
Description
Gesso or ‘ground’ used for encaustics is a specially formulated priming ground built with high absorbency to create the perfect base for wax application.
Wood panels can be painted directly with wax but a white ground is often preferred to enhance reflectivity and colour brilliance.
Easy to apply, the ground is fluid, yet full-bodied giving maximum film-build needed to ‘take’ subsequent wax coats.
Apply 2 coats of Encaustic Ground with a wide, flat soft brush.
Allow to dry (approximately 1 hour) between coats and, if desired, lightly sand for ultra-smooth finishes.
Once dry, Encaustic Ground is permanent and will not lift or crack.
Wash brushes in water.
Available in 500ml, 1 Litre and 4 Litre tins.
- 500ml $26.50
- 1 Litre $51
- 4 Litre $123
