## Overview

Grumbacher 16 oz Gesso (Hyplar) is a premium acrylic medium designed to prime multiple porous surfaces like canvas, wood, and plaster for oil and acrylic painting. Its creamy, tintable formula offers smooth application and can be thinned with water, ensuring a versatile and professional-grade base. Made in the USA, this matte finish gesso is ideal for artists seeking reliable surface preparation without chalkiness or excessive thickness.

## Description

Grumbacher Gesso prepares a number of porous substrates, such as canvas, wood, cardboard, plaster, and concrete, for painting with oil or acrylic colors. Not appropriate for egg tempera or gilding. Stir well and apply with brush to a clean surface. May be thinned with water. Sand between coats if desired to avoid wicking. May be tinted with acrylic colors. Do not mix with or apply over turpentine or oils. Available in 16oz. and 32 oz. jars. Made in USA.

Review: Very nice, very creamy! - I have always used a different brand of Gesso. Someone recommended trying Grumbacher Gesso (Hyplar) Artists' Acrylic & Oil Paint Medium, that they had made the switch and I might like it too. I ordered a jar. I love it! It is thick and creamy, not chalky like some, not thick as mud as some and not a water liquid as some gessos are. It is a nice white, creamy like a medium body paint, easy to work with and also works well as a 'white' paint. Very happy with it and will be the only gesso I purchase from now own. If it were in the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, it would be the 'just right', perfection that was sought after!
Review: Perfect for covering up old canvases! - This product was wonderful at covering a canvas that had a print on it I didn’t care for. Once covered and dried we created a whole new painting that I am not happy with. Instead of throwing away any canvases in the future, I will just cover them with gesso instead. Great product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff!
*by J***A on December 27, 2013*

I previously used the Winsor & Newton gesso, which was VERY thin. I had heard about this gesso watching Jerry Yarnell's videos. For those who don't know he's a professional artist/teacher who uses this stuff and swears by it. He uses it as a gesso and as his white paint, since it is more opaque. I knew this stuff was going to be thick, because the jar was heavier than expected. And yes, this stuff is THICK. Not too thick to where it doesn't want to spread, but I'd say it's as thick as it could be without getting in the way of spreading nicely. I certainly have no complaints and can't imagine switching to any other gesso in the foreseeable future. Give this stuff a try.
