Rebelle, a popular digital art software, has introduced a new series of art surfaces featuring Gesso papers. The collection comprises nine textured Gesso bases made of wood canvas and cardboard and is available in three paper sets: Gesso Fine, Gesso Medium, and Gesso Rough. Gesso, an ancient material made of glue, plaster, and pigment, has been traditionally used to prepare surfaces for painting. It was mostly applied to solid surfaces such as wooden boards. Rebelle’s new Gesso papers simulate the brush texture of old paintings and offer a variety of painterly details down to the NanoPixel level.

The Gesso Fine paper set includes three papers suitable for drawing with pencil, pastel, ink, and various watercolor and oil-based experiments. Each paper is unique and adds a variety of textures to the original material. The Gesso Medium paper set includes three papers with distinctive brush textures, imitating the surface of a stone, and reminiscent of a mixture of natural materials. These papers are suitable for watercolors, oils, and bold ink and pencil drawings. The Gesso Rough paper set includes three papers that were created by painting a thick impasto layer on cardboard with various paint brushes and spatulas. Each paper has a unique texture scale and is adjustable.

To celebrate the launch of the new Gesso papers, Rebelle is offering a special discount of $6 off on the purchase of all three Gesso paper sets combined. The offer is valid until May 24th, 2023.

Rebelle’s ultra-realistic papers, canvases, and lithography stones are exclusive assets of the software created by Lubomir Zabadal, an expert in traditional art media and assistant professor at UKF University Slovakia. The full-color papers and canvases are compatible with version 5.0 and later, while more than 30 paper sets are compatible with previous Rebelle versions (3.0 and later).

In conclusion, Rebelle’s new Gesso papers are a perfect addition to its collection of art surfaces and offer a unique experience to artists who wish to experiment and create traditional textured paintings using digital means. These papers offer a range of textures, imitating the brush texture of old paintings, and provide a high-quality base for drawing and painting in Rebelle software.

The discount offered by Rebelle on the purchase of all three Gesso paper sets is an added incentive for artists to try out these new materials.
