Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 237ml (8-oz), Black

Great coverage and drying....

Great product.

Thinner than expected. I thought gesso was thicker.

Great stuff

Its gesso. White. The coverage was pretty good; I primed two new canvases with it and covered up some damage and staining on an old one with two quick coats maybe 10 minutes after one another. No real complaints. Rinsed the brush with water and then moved onto the next thing. What more do you need here, folks? Its gesso, I have since confirmed it for everyone.

I’ve tried other brands but this is the one I always come back to.

never used it before it works good

I am not an artist, just a crafty librarian, so this was the first time Ive ever used gesso. I wasnt quite sure how to go about it, but I found that using an old gift card to spread it around gave me much better results. I used the gesso to prep sheets of chip board that I bound into a blank book for a kids book club. It made the chipboard much easier to color and paint on, and because it was white the colors were more vibrant. Never thought Id find myself using gesso, and I have nothing else to compare it to, but this stuff worked great.

will buy again.

This is too watery. Will take too many coats to properly cover my painting surface. It has the consistency of melted ice cream.
