Why gesso suits the surreal
On a ground of gesso, dream images look as if they had just stepped out of the fog. Anyone seeking surreal paintings with gesso for sale finds bright, matte scenes in which every thing appears a little too clear.
The white, matte ground barely reflects and lets colors appear cool. That creates the glassy mood familiar from surreal pictures. Thinly applied layers shimmer through, and reserved areas turn into fog, moon or water.

Paths through the offer
Gesso occurs on acrylic on canvas as well as in pictures of the range 1,000 to 2,000 euro. Both paths help narrow technique and ambition. In the description ask about the type of gesso and the number of layers.
Hanging and lighting
White grounds change in the light. Daylight from the side makes the picture seem cool and calm, warm lamp light makes it softer. Hang it where you can see it in different moods over the day.
