Gamblin Oil Ground 237ml
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.
