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

Good Gesso does the job.

My daughter asked us to purchase and I didn’t realize the purpose of this is more for prep of a surface than use as paint. This is very thin and almost transparent when used with other colors on a painting canvas. This is not good to use as a white paint, it’s so bad you would need to use the whole bottle or more to even get the white color.

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!

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.

I used this product as a primer or base for y acrylic paintings and also on heavy water color paper in order to allow acrylics to work well on the stiffened , thicker watercolor paper. It works well wet for some works and dries super fast on my canvases. Its a flexible and adaptive painters staple. Canvasses are much smoother even with just one gesso coat.

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!

Used to cover canvas Used to lighten colors Used instead of whit paint in some cases

Opened the box to see gesso had spilled outside of container. Unfortunately i am in a time crunch and this is needed asap so am unable to return it and wait for a replacement

I love using this fantastic gesso to prep my art journal pages and I’m thrilled to have received it so quickly. This gesso covers the writing lines of pages throughout my basic composition book so that the thin pages are receptive to the many art mediums I throw at it.

Great quality product
