Unpolished Stone
Natural Stone is available in many forms and finishes, with porous ones providing the best adhesion. Before using, always make sure the stone is thoroughly cleaned.
It is generally fine to draw or paint directly on clean stones with acrylics, oils, and watercolors. If less absorbency is desired, apply a commercial masonry primer or conditioner.
For added protection, a suitable topcoat or varnish can be used as well.
Thank you
You are welcome Jennifer, we hope it is helpful!

I’ve just used gesso. I’ll try gac. Thank you.
Hi Lori,…assuming your stone is porous enough, our Gesso should work well. If you wanted a translucent and glossy ground then our GAC 100 or GAC 500 could also work. Or, of course, you can just paint directly on porous stones.
