Artist Paul Alan Grosse reviews our Gesso Panels by Belle Arti: smooth and versatile handmade panels for use with techniques such as oil, acrylic, pencil, watercolour and ink Gesso Panels by Belle Arti with a multi-ply poplar wood base Handmade and traditionally crafted in Italy by expert artisans at Belle Arti, these Gesso Panels are the ideal versatile surface to create with and explore a wide variety of techniques, including oil, acrylic, pencil, watercolour and ink, thanks to the high absorbency of the panels. The firm, smooth and polished surface allows for working in very fine details. From acrylics to oils and inks, the panels heighten the vibrancy of colours and are great for building up layers of colour. The base is constructed with a 7mm thick poplar multi-ply wood, which is stable, durable and lightfast, and a great value option to present work well without the need for framing. The high absorbency of the panels may require extra oil to be used when working with oil paints. These panels may not be absorbent enough for use with egg tempera, which typically requires genuine gesso made with rabbit skin glue and whiting.
