A High Solid Absorbent Acrylic Gesso Specially Formulated For Use With Encaustic Paint.

Randamp;F’s Encaustic Gesso provides an easy-to-use, water-based ground specifically formulated for use with encaustic paints. This gesso differs from typical acrylic gessos by having a higher proportion of solid to binder, making it highly absorbent while retaining the adhesive qualities of the acrylic. With our Encaustic Gesso, you can easily brush or roll on a white ground that quickly dries to a ready-to-paint surface.

Randamp;F ENCAUSTIC GROUNDS

The term ground refers to a prepared surface for painting. A ground is applied to a substrate or support, which can be wood, board, stretched canvas, or an alternative. As a general guideline, grounds for encaustic painting must be absorbent, so acrylic gessoes were not recommended in the past.

Randamp;F Encaustic Gesso contains an acrylic binder as one of its carefully formulated products, making it one of the most durable grounds available for encaustic painting.
