Review: One coat coverage that rises above student grade level - The expensive name brand artist quality black gesso I've used in the past just lost a customer. I relied on buyer's reviews when I risked buying this black gesso; the price was lower so I feared the quality would suffer. I found it to be excellent, as good as the high priced, artist quality name brand product I've relied on in the past. I gave it a good stir and it covered my substrate with one coat and went on smoothly. In my opinion It rises above the student grade designation and the ones so named that I've tried in the past.
Review: Best in coverage for as little as I used - My first order, and usage, of black gesso. This is the best I have used ( even better than white. ) The coverage is phenomenal. I covered 2 dozen canvas boards ranging from 5x7 in to 11x14 in ( about half of them used ), front and back, and barely made a dent in the amount in the jar. Will be reordering when time and stocking up. Absolutely the best value. Thanks for a great product !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff.
*by H***S on March 24, 2025*

I use gesso for base paint on my houses. I know the usual is to apply mod podge, but I find gesso makes a much better base to start painting my diorama houses. A bit more expensive but worth it. This is a lot of product for the money and it works perfectly for what I need it for.
