Liquitex BASICS Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 473ml (16-oz) Bottle, White

Only used it once and it seemed to do what it was supposed to do....cover a surface.

Used as an option undercoat in acrylic painting. Worked great.

This was a very good deal and I got exactly what I wanted for a great price.

Update: Do not like this Basic gesso from Liquitex!! It come up while painting. If ur doing acrylic pouring or fluid arts be careful it will leave chunky textures if using it with a brush or a belt knife the lighter you go the less visible marks but it still comes up textured and it may not be that pretty to most art techniques. Dries fast! Not permanent! Definitely learned not to sand with this product their original yes but the basic one no! Go for golden acrylics gesso looking for cheaper options are wood look as clear just so or the spray cans for prep works much better than gesso only on certain surfaces it works best on not all. Good product dries fast. Not a fan when it comes to sanding to smooth it & apply another layer made last layer come up. Made the 2nd layer of gesso not sanded. Other then that doing a acrylic pour over many different types Of surfaces with Liquitex Gesso work good. Made acrylic pouring on ceramic tile work/look much better!!

As always, Liquitex products make your artistic experience very enjoyable; and this Basic Acrylic Gesso is not the exception in their products. I would recommend this gesso because is good and economical! Thanks Amazon and Liquitex. Regards: Ana

My item was packaged well and Item came sealed.

Good Gesso does the job.

This works great as a primer for my paintings! Ive used it on a piece of styrofoam that we use to insulate our fireplace, I painted a fire scene on it and it made for an excellent base! I also use this on cheaper canvases that tend to soak in more paint, thus taking much more time to paint on and it really makes a difference. I found that using a sponge works the best to apply it, I just wet the sponge and dab into the gesso and apply and it goes on very nicely!

Didn’t really know what I was buying, I just knew that I needed to prep my unfinished wood boards in order for the resin to properly coat them, and it’s worked! I am also a painter and want to try prepping a canvas, but haven’t done so yet. It’s a very thick and opaque medium, kind of like frosting!

Great for beginners
