Good coverage and matt
Nice and thick and matt, the coverage is great and a nice wide tub so you can get a decent sized paintbrush in. It has a chalk board kind of finish on board with one coat. I didn’t need two coats though recommended. Thought it was good value and better than using acrylic black which was too shiny.

Great for my purposes
It's taken me a while to understand how to use this (for my purposes). I've been experimenting using black gesso as a background for oil painting portraits. If you give your canvas at least 2 coats and allow 2-3 days for it to fully dry it is excellent. Do a test for your pigments to find out which ones work best on this background for your subject. I really like the effects you can produce

Works well and mixes well with acrylics.
Great product works well and can mix other acrylics into it to give a different colour canvas.

Very Black!
Bought this to experiment with. New to acrylics, I thought I'd try painting on a black canvas panel. It covers well and dries quickly and although my art work was less than impressive this was not the fault of the product! I'm still experimenting but would recommend this gesso.
