## Description

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Surface Prep Mediums are used to seal prime and add tooth (for color adhesion) to all surfaces such as canvas wood paper and metal. This same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint. Our professional gessoes usually take just one coat, and adding Liquitex Soft Body color to any gesso creates customized tints and primers. Liquitex Gesso Surface Prep Medium is a premium acrylic gesso used to prepare painting surfaces for acrylic and oil paint. Excellent base coat primer for many applications, including murals; one coat is usually all that is required. Can be applied to any material or surface that will accept traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, wood, etc. Liquitex Surface Prep Mediums are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface. APPLICATION: Use undiluted or thin up to 25% with water. When thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium to thin gesso. Tint with up to 10% Liquitex Soft Body or Heavy Body Artist Colors. Visit our Liquitex desertcart Storefront for full product assortment.This package contains 8oz/237mL of Gesso.

Review: Primed for Perfection: My Experience with Liquitex Professional Gesso - As an artist, the foundation of any painting is crucial, and I was searching for a reliable primer to prepare my 14x14 canvas. Enter Liquitex Professional Gesso. I had heard of its reputation but was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Upon opening the container, I was greeted with a thick, creamy texture that promised good coverage. The application was smooth, and I could feel the gesso gripping the canvas, creating a surface that was both absorbent and slightly textured—perfect for acrylics. After the recommended drying time, I was impressed by the matte white finish that not only brightened the canvas but also provided an excellent base for my paints. The true test came when I began painting. The gessoed surface allowed the acrylics to adhere beautifully, with colors appearing vibrant and true. The added tooth gave my brushwork a satisfying resistance, enhancing control and precision. I also appreciated the archival quality of the gesso, knowing it would help preserve my artwork for years to come. However, it's worth noting that the gesso's clear opacity means that any underlying pencil sketches or markings are not effectively covered, so plan your compositions accordingly. That could be great if you still want whatever’s underneath to show through, or challenging if you’re used to a dress that is white or some other color. Additionally, while the gesso provides a sturdy base, it's essential to allow each layer to dry thoroughly to avoid any lifting or smudging during subsequent applications. In conclusion, Liquitex Professional Gesso proved to be an excellent choice for priming my canvas. It delivered on its promises of quality, durability, and performance, setting the stage for a successful painting project. If you're looking for a dependable primer to ensure your artwork starts on the right foot, this gesso is a worthy investment.
