Review: Great size and good quality - I only took up art recently and after some fast track self learning I have started to collect different materials and came across gesso, which I had never heard of before. I am glad I found this one as it primes my canvasses perfectly. I have also used it to make a rextured base on a canvas and to transfer a picture on another. I intend on finding other uses for it.
