Gamblin Ground and Gesso Blade
The right tool for the job.™
Get the job done right in a fraction of the time with less mess and no waste.
If you prime canvases and panels with gesso or Oil Ground, you know how time-consuming it is to get a thin, even coat. You also know what a pain it is to clean brushes afterward. And how wasteful single-use paint rollers are.
With the Gamblin Ground and Gesso Blade, you get a perfect, even application from edge-to-edge in a fraction of the time, with less mess and no waste. Best of all, it is the first and only artist’s tool made from 100% recycled material. Wipe clean after use and reuse your Ground and Gesso Blade over and over.
