Gamblin Oil Ground makes a strong, bright, non-absorbent foundation for oil paintings.

Oil Ground is formulated from alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate – titanium dioxide gives opacity, while calcium carbonate gives tooth for strong adhesion. This foundation makes a brighter and less-absorbent ground layer compared to acrylic gesso primers, meaning that the oil paint layers on top will better retain their color saturation. The lower absorbency also allows for reductive painting techniques when painters need to wipe back into the white of their Ground.

Gamblin Ground is available in the following sizes: 8 fl oz, 16 fl oz, 32 fl oz.

A 8 fl oz. of Oil Ground will cover 12 square feet with an application of two thin coats. Oil Ground is not designed for acrylic painting.
