Chalk, glue, surface
Gesso is the white ground on which painting first truly glows, and sometimes it becomes the subject itself. Anyone interested in paintings with gesso for sale seeks pictures with a fine surface, matte white and visible craft.
Classical gesso consists of chalk or gypsum and binder, modern acrylic gesso of polymer. It is applied in several layers and sanded until the surface is smooth or deliberately rough. On this ground every color carries richer and more evenly.

Gesso as a design tool
Some painters leave gesso visible: as relief, incision or white reserve. It then forms landscape, snow or light. More on this turns up in acrylic on canvas, in acrylic, collage on canvas and in the styles surrealism and classicism.
Price ranges and care
For orientation there are 1,000 to 2,000 euro and 2,000 to 5,000 euro. Gesso is matte and absorbent, so light surfaces soil easily. Dust only dry and ask about a sealing coat.
