Review: I would buy this product again. It did everything it said it would do. - This product was easy to use. It was easy to apply. Dries quickly. Great coverage over terra-cotta pots. The finish was nice. Drying time was as it said. So happy with this product.
Review: Good quality for making pastel painting surfaces - This was my first time using this type of gesso, and it worked great. I combined the gesso with pumice and water to create a large rough surface for pastels on matboard, and it was a fraction of the costs of regular pastel paper. The quality of the gesso is great, and the price reasonable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gesso
*by R***B on August 14, 2026*

It is a nice size jar. It certainly will be used. Pleased that it covered my wood box with only a small amount of gesso. So, I think it will be an economical purchase.
