Tri-Art professional quality gesso is made with 100% acrylic emulsion and contains calcium carbonate. It is pH neutral and ideal for oil paintings and acrylics. It is waterproof when dry and does not crack, crumble, flake, or lift off the substrate.

•White and opaque

•Dries to a matte finish

•Can be sanded when dry

Gamvar Gloss - 125ml

Gamblin

$24.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Varnishing is an aesthetic decision but also practical. Robert Gamblin recommends paintings be varnished unless artists truly dislike the look. While waiting 3 to 6 months is best, painters using Gamvar can safely varnish sooner because Gamvar's mild solvent will not dissolve the glaze layers of paintings and paintings today dry quicker.
Water clear, Gamvar is a revolutionary development in protecting paintings from dirt and dust. Gamvar picture varnish is a low molecular weight synthetic-resin gloss varnish developed by conservation scientists at the National Gallery. Package makes enough varnish for 8x10 square feet of paintings made with oils as well as acrylics. Gamvar can also be used for retouch.

With a high refractive index similar to that of natural resins, colors are fully saturated to bring out the best in the painting. Unlike varnishes made from natural resins like dammar and mastic, Gamvar does not yellow with age or become more difficult to remove. It contains a UV stabilizer and offers some measure of protection to less lightfast pigments, depending on how thickly it is applied.
Caution: Follow safety instructions carefully. Not suitable for use by children.

What does bio-based mean?

The resin base of a typical pro acrylic paint is made from 100% petrol-derived ingredients sourced from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. For bio-based products, Liquitex halved this, replacing ingredients with ones from renewable, biological sources. These come from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane and algae which can be regrown or replenished relatively quickly through natural or farming processes.

At Liquitex, every ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and they’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals. As more bio-based ingredients become available, they’ll incorporate them.
