Mont Marte Black Gesso 500ml

Painting over a dark ground instantly creates mood, deepens tonal contrast, and makes metallic, iridescent, neon, and high-chroma acrylics pop with extraordinary luminosity. With a smooth, workable viscosity straight from the tub, it spreads effortlessly using flat wash brushes, foam rollers, or palette knives to yield velvety, streak-free foundations or tactile background textures. Resistant to flaking, cracking, and surface embrittlement, this 500ml tub serves as an indispensable studio medium for preparing raw canvas, wood panels, MDF, cardboard, terracotta, and mixed-media paper.

• How to Use:
• 1. Ensure the working surface is clean, dry, and free from loose dust, wax, or grease residues.
• 2. Stir the black gesso thoroughly before application; dilute slightly with a small splash of water if an ultra-smooth ground is desired.
• 3. Apply evenly across the surface using a broad flat brush, foam roller, or palette knife.
• 4. For best archival results on raw canvas or bare wood, apply 2 to 3 thin coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly between applications (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
• 5. For a silky-smooth surface, sand lightly between dried coats using fine-grit sandpaper.
• 6. Seal the wide-mouth tub tightly after use to prevent the primer from skinning over inside the container.
• 7. Wash brushes, rollers, and mixing trays immediately in lukewarm soapy water before the acrylic binder cures.

• Mont Marte art mediums and primers are manufactured under rigorous quality control standards, ensuring consistent viscosity, superior surface grip, and dependable archival permanence across diverse fine art and mixed-media projects.
