This gesso is made from unpigmented clear resin which provides excellent tooth but dries completely clear, therefore it doesn't change the original appearance of your ground. If you want to start your work from a coloured ground, you can make your own tinted gesso primers by the addition of acrylic colours. We recommend using up to 1 part Artists' Acrylic colour with 4 parts Clear Gesso, and opaque colours will give a better result.
It is fast drying and provides a balanced absorbency. It dries to a flexible ground suitable for acrylic, oil and alkyd painting. It is also suitable for preparing a surface for pastel or charcoal.
Dries to a Matt finish.

Perfect base layer
I used this clear gesso over a water coloured sheet of paper, then drew on the top with pastels. The milky colour of the gesso meant that you could see where you had applied it, then it dries clear. It gives a lovely tooth which is great for pastel work.

I'm an amateur artist and used this for prepping over an acrylic paint layer for applying pastels on top.
Did you find this review useful?Versatile gesso
I have used W&N clear gesso before and am more than happy to buy it again. It comes in useful for a variety of applications including coloured pencils, pastels, acrylics and oils. It has good transparency and tooth.
