Review: Good stuff! - Lovely and smooth. Goes on a treat.
Review: Good coverage and matt - Nice and thick and matt, the coverage is great and a nice wide tub so you can get a decent sized paintbrush in. It has a chalk board kind of finish on board with one coat. I didn’t need two coats though recommended. Thought it was good value and better than using acrylic black which was too shiny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does it do?**
A: You can prime canvas with it.  So you would paint it over canvas cotton or whatever to make a good surface for the oil paint or acrylics.   I've used it too for painting over paintings I don't like and want to paint over with something else.  You can prime hard board to make a good painting surface.  So really it is for preparing a surface for painting on.

**Q: Is this suiable for Oil painting?**
A: I use the black gesso to cover the canvas and paint over in oils, works perfectly!

**Q: Is this product suitable for adult number painting as a primer ? Will the numbers be still visible?**
A: Great gesso primer for use under oil or acrylic painting. Good body.

**Q: Is this designed to work with Oil paint?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff!
*by M***S on 13 July 2026*

Lovely and smooth. Goes on a treat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good coverage and matt
*by H***O on 8 June 2025*

Nice and thick and matt, the coverage is great and a nice wide tub so you can get a decent sized paintbrush in. It has a chalk board kind of finish on board with one coat. I didn’t need two coats though recommended. Thought it was good value and better than using acrylic black which was too shiny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my purposes
*by S***G on 1 April 2025*

It's taken me a while to understand how to use this (for my purposes). I've been experimenting using black gesso as a background for oil painting portraits. If you give your canvas at least 2 coats and allow 2-3 days for it to fully dry it is excellent. Do a test for your pigments to find out which ones work best on this background for your subject. I really like the effects you can produce
