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

Great for beginners

This is all around just a good budget friendly gesso for those just getting into painting! I recommend adding a dot of your favorite starting color while priming your canvas to break up the white. Goes and smoothly and should last me a good while!

Texture

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

Super easy to use on all your art and mixed media projects ‼️Sheer.. works on all mediums from canvas to book pages! Great non clogging bottles.

Good price

Great primer for dark colored rocks. Turns any rock into a canvas. Fast drying and easy cleanup due to water based. I would definitely re-buy when I run out.

It’s inexpensive, but you’re getting what you pay for. Unimpressed with coverage. After trying this I went out and invested in a bucket of Golden gesso; I figure with the amount of Liquitex required to get the job done, the price evens itself out.

Worked great. Diluted for my master g22 brush and it works amazing

It’s a pretty good gesso. I use a mix-media pad and this gesso, although I’m sure there are better, works pretty good for me. I am just starting out with painting and I have been recommended this brand and for beginners, I’d say it’s pretty good. I put two layers; The first layer I lay down is with brush strokes going side to side, and the other layer with brush strokes going up and down. The paint looks brighter and more vibrant when I prime the mix-media pad with it
