Gamblin Oil Painting Ground makes a strong, bright, non-absorbent foundation for oil paintings. It is formulated from alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate. Titanium dioxide lends opacity, while calcium carbonate gives tooth for strong adhesion.
 
Gamblin Ground makes a brighter and less absorbent ground layer compared to acrylic gesso, meaning that oil paint layers on top will better retain their color saturation, and best of all, you won't use lose paint to surface absorption.
