Art Noise Gesso and Sludge Gesso are economy gesso's - inexpensive and yet flexible, non-cracking and a toothy ground for all supports (3 coats are recommended for economy gesso's). A good quality gesso can expand your options for using alternative surfaces, ie. masonite, mat board scraps, coloured papers, heavy weight mixed media/watercolour papers. Also, check out yupo or terraskin which are eco-alternative surfaces that work very well with acrylics. *tip :: paper works can be mounted on boards with Gel Medium for final presentation!
