Holbein has created a unique and versatile product for the decorative and fine artist. It can be used as a traditional underpainting on all surfaces, including paper, cloth, many canvases, wood, stone, and primed metal. It also acts as an extremely opaque and ultra-matte finish acrylic paint medium. Finally, it’s a fantastic acrylic paint.

Holbein Colored Gesso is highly pigmented, with an extremely smooth texture. It can be mixed with any acrylic paint or medium and finishes to a matte surface. It may be overpainted with water-based or oil-based colors or pastels. Available in a full spectrum of beautiful colors.

White, Coarse Texture — This gesso creates a surface with a fine sand texture.

White, Extra Coarse Texture — This gesso creates a surface with a rough sand surface.

White, Medium Texture — This gesso creates a matte acrylic surface.

White, Smooth Texture — This gesso creates a surface with an eggshell appearance and feel.

Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Best colored gesso there is

Comments about Holbein Acryla Colored Gesso:

This brand of colored gesso has a nice fluid consistency yet it is richly pigmented and opaque at the same time that even one layer of it can be sufficient. Texture is smooth and very easy to apply with a brush and leaves very little brushstrokes behind. It dries to a very matte, opaque ground with a refined tooth. It works great if you need a consistently toned, opaque ground to paint on. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Holbein Acryla Colored Gesso:

The Acryla colored gesso is perfect for the background surface of my oil paintings on canvas. It doesn't scuff or scratch. I keep a supply on hand just in case of messy fingerprints. The good thing is that it doesn't show evidence of touch ups. I also use the Red Ochre as a base coat for my gold metal leaf work.
