R&F Encaustic Grounds

The Term Ground Refers To A Prepared Surface For Painting. A Ground Is Applied To A Substrate, Or Support, That Can Be Wood, Board, Stretched Canvas, Or An Alternative. As A General Guideline, Grounds For Encaustic Painting Must Be Absorbent, So Acrylic Gessoes Were Not Recommended In The Past.

R&F Encaustic Gesso Contains An Acrylic Binder As One Component Of Its Carefully Formulated Product Making It One Of The Most Durable Grounds Available For Encaustic Painting.</P
