I first use Gamblin PVA size and then I would use Acrylic gesso for my ground. I changed to now using Gamblin Oil Painting Ground. I like it. It does take more time to dry between coats. 24 hours. Its recommended 2 coats. 5-7 days before painting. You can use more for a smoother surface. It is stiffer than acrylic gesso. I hope I helped. Paul
