BLUEBIRD Heavy Gesso Primer for Acrylic Painting, Gesso Surface Prep Medium for Acrylic Paint and Oil Paint (White, 28.2 Oz)

I’ve tried both cheaper and more expensive gessos, and if you don’t want to spend the money on a brand like Golden or Liquitex, Bluebird is the one I would recommend. I like to try different gesso’s, but I always come back to Bluebird heavy gesso. The biggest difference is the coverage. Im often covering a previously painted board or canvas that I fouled up or layering super heavy, thick 500gsm handmade watercolor paper with decked edges onto a wooden board and while I have a gesso made for watercolors, I have no problem with any medium when I’ve coated the surface with Bluebird gesso. I can usually get solid, opaque coverage in one coat. Of course I add a second just to make sure, but it covered a Prussian blue painted wooden board with one coat today without a single bit of the dark blue showing through. With other gessos, including “heavy” gesso’s, I almost always end up using a minimum of three coats and once it took seven to cover a painted board. It has a wonderful consistency and leaves no visible brush strokes behind and always dries quicker than I expect it to. It’s a perfect white color and doesn’t flake or make it difficult to use adhesives on. What really makes it worth buying is that it isn’t priced like some premium miracle product. I’ve paid roughly the same for gessos that require several coats to accomplish what this does in one. At that point, the cheaper product isn’t really cheaper if you’re using three times as much of it and doing three times the work. Bluebird has become the only gesso I use. Excellent coverage, smooth application, and one of those rare art supplies where Ive finally put a halt to experimenting with other brands because I always end up returning them. Bluebird is my gesso go to.

I I really like this product to prepare my canvas for paintings, it is easy to use and the price is good, good quality. No smell

Definitely helps the longevity of my artwork. Very thick but applied well. Easy to apply.

Does the job, pretty standard gesso and good for covering a small canvas. It was a LOT smaller than expected, maybe I didn’t read the description. It’s about 2 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. It doesn’t have a strong smell so that’s good.

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.

I like using the Bluebird heavy gesso with my acrylic paints. It makes painting on canvas smoother. I like that you can thin it out with water if need be, It also makes for a good base coat before you lay your paint on your canvas. I would really recommend this.

Good but very small amount

Nice and thick and white

Husband is happy. But didn't start the painting yet!

Used it on a wooden panel, which I intend to have hand painted by an artist. The base coat on the wooden panel was smooth and white. Absolutely recommend the product.

Excellent. Easy you use and fast dry
