I LOVE IT
I was afraid of picking the wrong item because of so many bad products out there (incl Amazon). This one is made in USA, so, I couldn’t go wrong. I used it the first night after returning from the store and shortly it dried out; by morning when the intention was to put another coat on my canvas, there was no need for it. The gesso is creamy and not stiff or runny, it’s like a creamy, smooth paste. I wish there was a way to attach a photo and show it off. Now I know that the bucket would have been a great deal but now I know it for sure.
I’d highly recommend it for professionals and amateurs alike.

Gets the job done
I’ve used a few brand name white gessos but this once works as well. I initially bought it for a painting class and now I use it for paintings on my own time.

It comes in a nice big tub.
I'm so glad to have Michael's here in our town. I was able to get what I need in a good sized tub.

Great product for the price
I go through this like crazy, and even though there are more premium brands out there with a higher price tag, this does the job for any mixed media project you are doing.

Artist loft is not for true artist
I thought to get some cheaper gesso for a small summer project I am doing. I opened this and this and instantly knew this was not true gesso... This is just paint. If you plan to use this cover an image don't bother. I used the whole tub of this just to cover my canvas. You can lay it on thick but you will still be able to see what is underneath. Please just spend a little more money to get something that actually works.

Not as good as others
Hi, I'm a former art professor and used to use a huge tub from Utrecht which was much better than this. Yes my usage was to cover painted over canvases, to reuse them- but this gesso is thin and not highly pigmented. Spend the money and get a higher quality as I think I'll need 3 layers, which Iv'e never needed before. Usually two layers gives a great finish.

Does the job I needed it for
First time using gesso, and it works good. Just like on the label it takes a few coats, but it does reprime a canvas even though there was old paint beneath it. So helped me save a canvas to make new art on.

I am satisfied with this product. It covers well. I always seem to want more pigment but that's just me!

greatly overrated
if I wanted liquid gesso, I would have bought it in a bottle. This stuff just runs right out of the jar. Very little pigment so it took more the get the lightening I desired. I am so disappointed with the product that I am going back to Grumbachers gesso. Now that is some thick stuff with lots of pigment!

Great for mixed media art
Works well to prime my mixed media art work because it’s so thick.

It's Gesso
I added a little water to thin it down so I would only have a light layer.

Very Thick Gesso!
The density of this gesso makes it hard to handle.

Best result with a broad knife.
For best fine detail, you need a lot of gesso. This gesso spreads and finishes very well with a drywall broad knife... Nice and smooth!

Right idea for canvas painting
As a base good for the canvas top of an outdoor swing in order to paint it
Tried just spray paint & the canvas was too porous so Michaels recommendation was the Gesso
But when I spray painted the Burgundy color over it ,the color dried pinkish cause of the white base
Looks horrible needs several coats of paint to get the right burgundy color
Wasted my money on the Gesso & spray paint cans (4)

Too watery
It’s too watery to hold any kind texture. I added a few small peaked dots but dots flattened out and cracked in multiple spots

Not worth it
The price is great however you get what you pay for, for students will do but if you are serious about your art absolutely not, is full of impurities as you try hard to smooth it out the impurities keep scratching taking you 3 time the work that you should be painting not correcting, I’m throwing 3/4 of it to left to the garbage and getting a professional one from golden. I’ll never buy this again

Gesso Review
This is not good quality Gesso. It has cracked every time I have tried to use it. I would definitely recommend buying another brand even though this is sold In bulk

Terrible Gesso
I have been using Gesso for over 25 years on all my paintings. So I feel I can speak about this product. The other reviewers are right. This is not real Gesso. It’s too thin and cracks when it dries. I will not be using this brand again. Lesson learned.

Terrible
Do not use with oil paint! Oil paint will soak right into this product and will destroy your painting. Complete waste of a big tub as well as expensive panels and paint.
Don't waste your time or money!!!
