Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 3.78L (128-oz), Clear

Perfect, as described

Happy with the purchase

Ich nutze das Klare Gesso, um mir selbst Pastell-Untergründe zu erstellen. Pastellpapier mit rauer Oberfläche wie etwa UART Sanded Paper oder Pastelmat sind schon ziemlich teuer - als Alternative lässt sich mit dem klaren Gesso eben eine ähnliche Oberflächenstruktur erschaffen, auf dem Pastellkreiden viel besser haften als auf glattem Papier und sich so auch besser layern lassen - so lässt sich nahezu jede Oberfläche in einen Pastellgrund verwandeln - da es klar ist, ist auch ein Underpainting (z.B. mit Aquarell oder Pastell mit flüssigen Medien angereichert) möglich. Einen Stern Abzug gebe ich für den unverschämt hohen Preis.

Good

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

Amazing! You will laugh - Ive used this gesso for 10 years in painting and scrapbooking. Recently I had a 20+ year old faded metal front door needing paint. I sanded it, wiped down, & painted with top-rated paint for metal. The top-rated paint, a protective enamel, didnt cover to my shock! Back to the hardware store, they sold me clean metal primer. I re-sanded down the door & applied the clean metal primer, which seemed kinda watery to me. It was OK but we could STILL see streaks and old paint underneath. Frustrated now, being an artist at heart, not a housepainter, desperate, I grabbed my go-to Gesso & a foam brush. All I can say is Ta-Da!!! It covered the clean metal primer perfectly solidly. Dried in an hour. Next morning I re-painted the whole door with the protective enamel paint and it covered beautifully looks fantastic. BTW, it was a 4 oz. bottle of Liquitex and I didnt even use half the bottle.

I like this gesso because it is very smooth and covers well. A bit more expensive but if you dont need a large tub it works well.

Good quality for the price. Quick service from the seller.

Nice product. Made canvas prep very easy!

I have used this product in the past. Very good product and will recommend to my friends in the future.
