Brand new gesso papers - a combination of the beauty of the past and painting experiment - have been a new addition to Rebelle's collection of art surfaces. We have prepared nine textured gesso bases on wood, canvas, and cardboard in three paper sets: Gesso Fine, Gesso Medium, and Gesso Rough.
What is Gesso?
Gesso paint is one of the most traditional materials used for preparing the surface for painting. It was originally a mixture of glue, plaster, and added pigment. Due to its low flexibility, it was only applied to solid surfaces such as wooden boards. In addition to beautiful paintings, gesso was also used before decorating with gold leaf.
Artists applied gesso in many thin layers, creating an extremely high-quality base. Nowadays, it is also used as a basis for painting on canvas or cardboard. Gesso is much more flexible with the addition of glycerin or acrylic, making it possible to experiment with many textures of different grain sizes.
Gesso has been used in art for many centuries and we are happy to present this new type of artistic background as one of many Rebelle surfaces.
Gesso Fine
These papers with a subtle brush texture were created as an attempt to imitate the brush texture of old paintings with new methods. It contains paper with the fine texture of splattered plaster, paper with the swirling movement of a paintbrush, and paper with more pronounced wavy strokes. Combined with Rebelle color pigments and NanoPixel technology, every drawing and painting reaches a new artistic dimension.

Pen on EX31 Gesso Fine paper

Gesso Medium
The papers were created by painting on wood, cardboard, and canvas. Each paper is unique and adds a variety of painterly details down to the NanoPixel level to the original texture of the material.

How Are the Papers for Rebelle Created?
The ultra-realistic papers, canvases, and lithography stones are an absolute gem. When creating these assets, we look for a suitable contrast in texture to capture the characteristics of the fibers, which create a unique structure every time. Papers and canvases are not a simple copy of reality. They are new textured images created with respect to the original pattern and behave realistically like real paper while painting in Rebelle.
Buy new full-color papers for US $14.99 each or get all available full-color sets in a bundle for a special price. Full-color papers and canvases are compatible with version 5.0 and later.
In addition, we are offering more than 30 paper sets compatible with previous Rebelle versions as well (3.0 and later). Every set contains three different papers, canvases, or lithography stones.
Enjoy many creative moments with Gesso papers!
