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

    This gesso has a nice creamy consistency and good coverage. From now on, this is what I will buy for my primer and mixed media projects.

    Coverage is not great. More see-through than expected. A lot is needed for minimum coverage. My advice: Don’t use Liquitex. There are better brands out there.

    Coverage is more like for paint. I expected 100% full coverage for gesso. I would get a higher quality brand next time.

    This is a decent quality gesso. Only need one coat, which is great. Arrived packaged well, and when expected.

    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.

    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!!
