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

RandF’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.

RandF 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.

RandF 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.
