Why Choose Gamblin Ground
Gamblin Oil Painting Ground provides a strong, bright, and non-absorbent foundation for your oil paintings. Formulated with alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate, it delivers excellent opacity, surface tooth, and adhesion for vibrant, long-lasting results.

Professional-Quality Painting Surface
Compared to traditional acrylic gesso, Gamblin Ground offers brighter colours, lower absorbency, and improved paint saturation. Its non-absorbent surface allows for reductive painting techniques, making it easier to wipe back into the white ground when needed.

Application Tips

• Apply in 1–2 thin coats; less is more due to its higher pigment load.

• Can be applied over acrylic-primed canvases or panels for a bright, uniform surface.

• Ideal for tinting: mix oil colours or dry pigments into the ground to create a custom toned surface.

• Use Gamsol to clean brushes and tools after application.

Additional Uses
